Study #2402October 2008 5700382 PagesWorld Textile FibersIndustry Study with Forecasts for 2012 & 2017Increases in industrial activity will promote gains in technical yarns and fabrics, while risingpersonal incomes will promote demand for textile fibers used in apparel and household items.Global demand to increase4.7% yearly through 2012World demand for manufactured fibers isforecast to increase 4.7 percent per yearto more than 58 million metric tons in2012, outpacing real (inflation-adjusted)gains in GDP. Overall growth will besupported by the continued replacementof natural fibers by less costly, betterperforming manmade alternatives inmany market applications. The globalmanufactured fiber market will alsobenefit from a generally sound macroeconomic outlook. Increases in industrialactivity will promote gains in technicalyarns and fabrics (e.g., tire cord, airbagsand geotextiles), while the rising level ofpersonal income in both developed anddeveloping countries will promotedemand for textile fibers used in appareland household items such as furnishings, bed sheets, towels, blankets andquilts, as well as floor coverings.Asia to remain dominantmarket, grow the fastestMaintaining an established trend, theworld manufactured fiber industry willcontinue to be concentrated in Asia,particularly China and India, where thefastest growth is also expected. Forinstance, by 2012 China is expected toaccount for 70 percent of global polyester output. India will also post strongincreases, but total production levels willremain well below that of China. In thesecountries, strong gains in fiber production and demand reflect vast spinningAsia/Pacific75%(46.3 million metric tons)North America 9%Western Europe 8%Other Regions 8%and weaving sectors, coupled withgrowing domestic markets for fibers andlower labor costs. As a result of thisintense competition, countries such asJapan, South Korea and Taiwan haveshifted away from fiber commoditiessuch as polyester, and moved towardlower-volume, higher-end products withspecialized market niches.slow growth compared to the Asia/Pacificregion, but growth nonetheless. Inparticular, Brazil and Turkey shouldcontinue to evolve into major factors inmanufactured fibers, bolstering theiralready strong positions in cotton.North American and European mills willcontinue to face tough challenges,including market maturity, capacityrationalization, competition from importsand business shifting to nations thatbenefit from lower production costs. Fortheir part, Latin America, Eastern Europeand the Africa/Mideast region areexpected to fare better, experiencingPolyester fibers will record rapid advances and remain the largest manufacturedfiber segment by far, due to their versatility and favorable cost-performancecharacteristics, but even faster growth inspecialty fibers will reflect the continuingstrength in the outlook for spandex,aramid and carbon fibers.Click here to purchase onlinePage World Manufactured FiberProduction, 2007Polyester, specialty fibersto record rapid advancesCopyright 2008 The Freedonia Group, Inc.Order now, click here!
