Mumbai,
March 1, 2007:
According to a new report titled "Polyester Chain
Report : 2006" distributed by Mumbai based distributors Bharat
Book Bureau, the polyester industry
expanded by 9.5% in terms of value to around US $ 33 billion
and by 2% in terms of volume in the year 2005.Also during
that year, the global production of polyester touched around
25 million tons.
Polyester accounts for nearly 75% of all the man-made fibres
around the world. During the last five years, the production
of polyester has increased over 5% per annum. But however,
the forecasts seem grim, as the next four to five years
would see the growth slowing down to around 4% per annum.
The global polyester production capacity stands at around 36
million tons, out of which 15 million tons is of staple
fibre and the remaining 21 million tons is of filament
yarns. The report mentions that nearly 83% of the staple
fibre capacities and 89% of the filament capacities are in
Asia, and China accounts for nearly 53% of staple fibre an
57% of filament yarn global capacity.
India,
South Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan, USA and Turkey are the major
producers of polyester in the world. In the polyester staple
fibre segment, the major importers are
China
and USA while the major exporters are South Korea and
Taiwan.
Similarly, in the in the polyester filament market, China,
Mexico, Brazil are the major importers while South Korea ,
Taiwan, Mexico, Indonesia and Malaysia are the major
exporting countries. In the year 2005, the polyester
industry was weighed down heavily by the rise in crude oil
prices which had raised the prices of PTA and MEG, the raw
materials for polyester production.
The report covers comprehensively up-to-date statistics on
the entire value chain beginning from propylene to
paraxylene to polyester fibre and filament. An added feature
of this report is the process descriptions, end use and
derivatives along with the latest producer-wise capacity.
Also included is the tabulation and graphical presentation
of trends and status of demand and supply in polyester chain
across countries.
