Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f78fd3/world_thailand_fib) has announced the addition of the "World Thailand Fiber Report 2009" report to their offering.
The World Fibre & Thailand Trends in Demand and Supply is the Fifth compendium covering the trends in global demand and supply of textile fibre/filament industry.
In this Report we have assesses the impact of the Global Slowdown on textile fibre/filament industry including natural fibres, particularly cotton, and how each country performed in this scenario. The analysis assesses the positions of fibres/filaments industry as events unfolded. The evolution of Global Slowdown and its spread across the world has been critically documented in perspective of textile industry. The demand crunch began in mid-2008 and continued into 2009. Also documented are the approaches of developed countries and the stimulus packages announced by various governments.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Thailand was the eleventh largest producer of fibre/filaments (including cotton) in the world and ranked tenth in terms of consumption in 2008. During the year, it produced 868,000 tons of fibre/filament and consumed about 930,000 tons. Globally, it can be reckoned as one of the major players in viscose stable fibre segment, although polyester industry is larger than viscose. In terms of supplies, Thailand ranked sixth in the world and was the fourth largest exporter of viscose staple fibre in 2008. In polyester, Thailand was the seventh largest producer of filament yarns and eighth largest in staple fibre. In terms of demand, Thailand ranked tenth in polyester filament yarn and cotton consumption.
Manmade fibre/filament production in Thailand had been impressive during the 1990s growing at a rate of 16% per annum. However, this rate fell dramatically to a little over 1% per annum be-tween 2000 and 2007 and more vehemently in 2008. Polyester production, the major among manmade fibre/filament declined 5% during 2008. Viscose fibre production too was not spared by the global slowdown as it declined 16% during the year. The only consolation was the significant 40% increase in nylon production. Acrylic staple fibre output shed 24%.
