CIRFS report states man-made fibres on growth path

Brussels-based CIRFS the association representing European man-made fibres industry, European Man-made Fibres Association recently announced the publication of its latest statistical report on developments in the world man-made fibres industry. This is the 51st edition of the report and it gathers data on production of acrylic, cellulosic, polyamide, polyester, polypropylene, wool and cotton, across the globe as a whole and in all the countries for which data exists, consumption and uses, and world trade in man-made fibres, yarns and fabrics.

Frédéric VAN HOUTE, Director-General, CIRFS while speaking about the report said that it shows continued and solid growth of the world’s man-made fibres industry while cotton and wool shares continue to decrease. It confirms the strength of global production of man-made fibres, and their dominant share in world demand for fibres, he said. In 2014, MMF represented 71 percent of all textile fibres produced worldwide; the percentage going up to 79 percent in Europe, he added.

Elaborating on how well man-made fibres have done in the past decade, VAN HOUTE stated that the share of man-made fibres in global fibre production grew from 59 per cent to 71 percent and Europe remains the world’s second largest producer of man-made fibres after China. It is the world’s largest exporter of acrylic and cellulosic fibres, and the biggest producer of ultra-high strength fibres and of polypropylene fibres, he mentioned.

He also said that the European man-made fibres industry is the largest supplier of raw materials to the continent’s textile industry. He believes that every producer and user of man-made fibres, governments, financial and economic actors, investors and consultants can benefit from the best possible information about industry trends and market size through CIRFS.
