Report description

PREFACE
The “Acrylic Chain Report 2007” contains 125 pages packed with up-to-date statistics on the entire value chain beginning from propylene further to intermediate – Acrylonitrile, down to acrylic fiber. The Report presents tabulation and graphical presentation of trends and status of demand and supply in acrylic chain across countries. Objective description on the behaviour of individual segment of the value chain is also presented analytically. Major investments and capacity shut down are captured briefly. It covers times series on production, imports, exports and apparent consumption for the period 1995 to 2006 and forecast for 2012. Processes description, end use and derivatives along with the latest producer-wise capacity are added feature of this report.

HIGHLIGHTS
Global acrylic fibre production was on the downtrend in 2006. Production declined 4.6% to 2.5 million tons. Acrylic fibre accounts for 6.8% in total man made fiber. ASF capacity has significantly declined in America due to the closure of plants in USA and Mexico. In terms of the contribution, Asia holds a major share of 59.5% in global production.

China is a major consumer of acrylic fibre followed by Turkey and Italy. China imports around 300 – 400 thousand tons of acrylic per annum and Turkey’s imports were around 100 – 150 thousand tons between 2002 and 2006. Major exporting countries are Japan, Germany and Taiwan. Japan exported around 238 thousand tons of acrylic in 2006.

YarnsandFibers expects ASF production to increase at the rate of 8% per annum between 2006 and 2012, thus taking the production to 2,725 thousand tons.
