Weaving: a growth sector
Woven fabrics are used
worldwide in a wide variety of applications including
apparel, household textiles and furnishings, medical items,
industrial uses, and technical products. fabric weaving
consumes about 28 mn tons of fibres per annum equivalent
to over half of the global textile market. Moreover, global
production of woven products will grow by 25% between 2002
and 2010, reaching more than 35 mn tons. Most of this growth
will take place in Asia.
Relocation to low cost
countries will intensify
Imports of textiles and
apparel will grow in the developed economies of Western
Europe, the USA, and Japan and, increasingly, in the newly
industrialised economies of Taiwan and South Korea.
Furthermore, import growth will intensify after the end of
2004 when quotas restricting international textile and
clothing trade are eliminated under the Agreement on
Textiles and Clothing (ATC).
Manufacturers in developed
countries are likely to respond by relocating operations to
production centres in low wage countries. Those who choose
nearby locations will also benefit from market proximity and
speed of response.
Growth will be fuelled
by demand for technical textiles
For producers in developed
economies, there are increasing possibilities of growth in
the technical, medical and industrial sectors. Such growth
would ensure that weaving remains a significant sector
within the textile industries in developed countries during
the early part of the 21st century.
World Markets for Woven
Textiles and Apparel: Forecasts to 2010 examines all these
issues and more. In particular, it will provide you with:
- an assessment of the
technologies used at all stages of the weaving process,
for both staple fibre yarns and filament yarns;
- an indication of the
response of developers of weaving technology to new
requirements imposed by the weaving sector;
- an insight into the
levels of fibre quality which will be necessary to
enable new technologies to be employed in the most
effective manner;
- production cost
breakdowns and trends for different countries and
comparisons of production costs between different
weaving technologies;
- authoritative
predictions of the future global market for woven
textiles and apparel, with particular emphasis on
expected trading patterns and the factors likely to
affect competition; and
- expert forecasts of
global and regional markets for woven textiles and
apparel to 2010.
