Global Report on Polyester Fibre Industry

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "World Polyester Trends in Demand and Supply 2010" report to their offering.

The World Polyester Fibre - Trends in Demand and Supply is the Sixth annual compendium in a series covering the trends in global demand and supply of textile fibre/filament industry. The compilation covers all major fibre producing countries accounting for 85% of global production and consumption. Time series on trends from 1990 to 2009 on production, imports, exports and apparent consumption is presented country-wise for 13 countries including all major Asian countries, USA and West Europe.

In this Report we have captured the trends seen in 2009 post the global crisis which had severely impacted textile fibre/filament industry including natural fibres, particularly cotton. The analysis assesses the positions of fibres/filaments industry as events unfolded.

The Report is divided into two sections: Fibre-wise View and Region/Country wise View.

Polyester staple fibre production grew 3.4% in 2009 to million tons. The growth regions were Africa, Asia, and Central and East Europe. Asia accounts for almost 88% of World polyester staple fibre capacity and supplies. Since 2000, production of PSF in Asia trended an annual growth of 7.6% up to 2008, taking its share from 71% in 2000 to over 88% in 2009.

Chinas PSF capacity although remained stable in 2009, accounted for 60% of global capacity while production grew 4%, implying rise in capacity utilization. India, the second largest producer, increased its volumes by 26%. Taiwan managed to lift output as well by 13% while output declined in South Korea by close to 3%. North Americas, the distant second largest PSF producing region, led by USA and to a smaller extent by Mexico.
