Polyester Chain Report 2009
YarnsandFibers.com, Nov 2009, Pages: 150
This “Polyester Chain Report: 2009” contains 150 pages packed with up-to-date statistics and objective analysis of the trends and recent development of the polyester Industry covering the entire value chain beginning from ethylene further to intermediate – PTA & MEG, down to polyester fibre and filaments. The Report presents tabulation and graphical presentation of trends in demand and supply of polyester chain country-wise from 2003 to 2008 and projections upto 2014 for both fibre and filament. Processes description, end use and derivatives along with the latest producer-wise capacity are added feature of this report.
Highlights:
The polyester staple fibre industry was adversely affected by the global slowdown with crisis aggravating in the second half of the year. About half a billion US$ were shaved off during the year at US$16.5 billion. Such drastic performance was unseen in the past 10 years. During 2008, capacity expanded by mere 1% while output and consumption declined 2.5% and 3% respectively. Only 158,000 tons of net capacity was added during the year, with Asia alone adding 590,000 tons. Other regions witnessed capacity de-rating.
Consumption of polyester staple fiber has been increasing at an annual growth rate of 6.2% between 1998 and 2008. In 2008, it declined sharply by 3% to 12 million tons. Asia, though account for 87% of global production consumed 76% of global supplies in 2008, thus becoming the major exporter of PSF. However, in recent years, domestic demand within Asian countries has seen a steep rise. In the past 8 years, consumption of PSF recorded an increase of 8% per annum as against less than 7.7% a year growth in production. Five years ago, 25% of Asia’s production was exported (including intra-region trade) and the same has come down to 17% in 2008.
Polyester filament yarn consumption reached 18.6 million tons increasing 0.1% in 2008. Of this, Asia alone consumed 17.3 million tons. Outside Asia, prominent consuming regions were Middle East and USA, together consuming 7% of global supplies with volumes at 0.74 million tons and 0.61 million tons respectively. Americas including south and Central, together consumed 6% or 1.1 million tons of PFY.
