World Acrylic Fiber Report 2009
YarnsandFibers.com, March 2010, Pages: 52
The “World Acrylic Fibre – Trends in Demand and Supply” is the Fifth compendium 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 countrywise 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.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Acrylic fibre industry has been on the verge of receding fast. Its share all manmade fibre supply globally in 2007 of 6% declined to 4.9% in 2008. With no new capacities coming up, the future appears dark. Since the past 10 years, about half a million capacity was derated with over 900,000 tons pulling out in last five years. Capacity had peaked 3.49 million tons in 2003 only to fall back to just 2.6 million tons by 2008. A few attributes to this trend is as follows.
About two-thirds of the global acrylic fibre capacity is in Asian region, which was less than half just 5 years ago. The rapid built up in Asia signifies the shift in capacities from costly Americas and Europe to this low cost region. North America and West Europe together now hold less than 20% of global capacity, down from 30% in 2003. Within Asia, most of the capacity is concentrated in China. Almost 30% global capacity and half of Asia’s capacity is in China. Apart from Asia Middle East has been pacing-up quickly to take advantage of its strong upstream and downstream linkages and its geographical positioning to supply to European and Asian markets.
Capacity built-up in the Middle East has been rapid in recent years, particularly in Tur-key. Middle East now accounts for 15%. Turkey’s advantageous proximity to Europe - a major consuming market, and to countries producing raw material – Iran, Saudi Arabia makes ASF production economically viable there.
