Textiles Intelligence Research Reports

Three Journals at the Centre of the Range

Textile Outlook International provides an independent and worldwide perspective on the textile and apparel industry, with regular updates on world trade and production trends, profiles of companies and countries, and analysis of trade blocs, tariffs and quotas. Performance Apparel Markets adds business and market analysis of worldwide trends in high performance activewear. Technical Textile Markets covers the global fibre, technical textile and nonwovens industries with research-based information, data and analysis. Together the three titles follow the industry from fibre production through fabric formation to finished apparel and retail markets.

That breadth matters because developments in one region cannot be viewed in isolation from those in another. A change in fibre consumption in Asia affects spinning capacity in Europe; a change in trade rules affects sourcing decisions in the Americas. The journals and reports in this section are organised to be read together, so a reader following a single market can place it in its global context.

In-Depth Research Reports

Beyond the journals, the report range examines individual industries and regions in depth. India's Textile and Apparel Industry: Opportunities for Sourcing and Collaboration looks at one of the world's great sourcing countries. Three companion volumes forecast world markets to 2010: World Markets for Woven Textiles and Apparel (269 pages), World Markets for Knitted Textiles and Apparel (194 pages) and World Markets for Spun Yarns (168 pages). Regional studies cover textiles and clothing in Eastern Europe — the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia — and the internationalisation of European textiles and clothing production into Eastern Europe and North Africa (133 pages).

Country and market studies complete the shelf: Textiles and Clothing in China: Competitive Threat or Investment Opportunity? runs to 353 pages; Selling Textiles and Clothing in France: The Franchise Route to 122 pages; the Man-Made Fibre Industry in Western Europe to 196 pages; and the nonwovens industries of North America (144 pages) and Western Europe (115 pages) each receive a dedicated volume. Page counts are a fair guide to depth: these are substantial studies built from industry data, company information and market analysis rather than short commentaries.

How to Use This Section

The navigation at the top of this page lists the journals and featured reports directly, because this page exists to route readers to them. Reports on world markets suit readers planning capacity, sourcing or market entry; regional reports suit readers weighing a specific country as a supplier, a competitor or an investment destination.

Textiles Intelligence also offers over 30 in-depth research reports covering global sectors such as man-made fibres and nonwovens, geographical regions such as South East Asia and Eastern Europe, and topics such as internationalisation and sourcing.
