World Fibre Trends in Demand-Supply
YarnsandFibers.com, March 2010, Pages: 276
The “World Fibre Trends in Demand and Supply” is the Fifth edition 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 2008 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 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.
Key Highlights:
- All fiber types were negatively affected by the economic slump in 2008. While cotton use has witnessed its second consecutive decline, the long-term downswing for wool continued. Cellulosics, experiencing an all-time high in 2007 after six years of strong growth, were down 16% last year.
- Consequently, every single sub-category was also down. The entire filament yarn industry has lost a volume of 620,000 tons last year. The strongest decline in volume terms in carpet yarn spinning has resulted from the United States housing bubble where housing prices peaked in early 2005 and started to decline in 2006. The staple fiber processing volume dropped by 3.50 million tons, of which 75% were due to lower output from cotton spinning.
- The US$45 billion polyester industry was no exception to this vagary. Both supply and demand declined. The polyester value chain lost almost US$0.70 billion worth of production as it ended the year at US$46.5 billion. While the loss in polyester segment was US$0.50 billion at US$16.5 billion, the filament segment was somewhat fortunate with a loss of just US$0.18 billion, now values at US$30 billion. Although polyester has been a major textile and clothing fibre, of late its use in industry, particularly in construction and automobile is remarkable. The global output of polyester was down 1.1% at 30.77 million tons and all sectors were negatively affected. Filament yarns somehow weathered the turbulences well by declining just 0.3% to 18.76 million tons while staple fibers, in line with falling cot-ton demand, were down 2.5% to 12 million tons.
- The value of US$15.22 billion nylon industry (filament and staple fibre) in 2007 was eroded by 8% or US$1.2 billion to US$14.02 million in 2008. While production volume declined 8.9%, prices gained little over 1% globally. Prices, after peaking in mid-2008 crashed to almost half the level by end of the year. Nylon production which was hovering between 3.8-3.9 million tons for the past 5-6 years was down to just 3.4 million tons in 2008.
