CEH: Fibers Overview

Nov 2019. This report presents an overview of the global supply and demand for natural fibers (cotton and wool) and man-made fibers (synthetic fibers and cellulosic fibers), broken out by major world regions. Because of regional differences in data collection methods, certain fiber data (polyolefin fibers, as well as lyocell fibers) are not included in the world totals but can be found in the respective regional sections of the report. In 2019, China is still the largest synthetic fiber producer, followed by other Asia (including Oceania) and India. Together, these regions account for about 95% of the total global capacity, production, and consumption of synthetic fibers, to support the region's extensive textile and garment manufacturing industries. Consumption in these regions will continue to drive global demand through the forecast period.
