Report Preface
The acrylic chain report: 2006 contains 80 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 behavior 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 2000 to 2005. Processes description, end use and derivatives along with the latest producer-wise capacity are added feature of this report.
Highlights
In 2005, the US$ 5 billion plus acrylic fiber industry expanded by 5.1% in terms of value and by 2.8% in terms of volume. During the year, global production of acrylic staple fiber touched 2,791 thousand tons. Acrylic accounts for 8% of all chemical fiber produced in the world. The share has fallen dramatically from 15% in early 1980s. During the last 5-year period ended 2005, ASF production has increased at a rate of 1.25% per annum, the slowest growth rate among all chemical fibers production.
Global acrylic staple fiber production capacity stands at 3,127 thousand tons. Of this, nearly half is in Asia, and with china accounting for almost a quarter of global capacity. Japan, on the other hand, shares just 9.5% of global capacity which has seen consistently dropping from 13.5% in 2000. Turkey has maintained its global share at 7.8% in the last 5 years.
China has emerged as a leading producer of acrylic staple fiber in the world. It has production capacity at 900 thousand tons in 2005 has grown by 50% since 2000. In 2005, china produced 865 thousand tons of acrylic staple fiber, which was up by almost 30% compared to a year ago. China is also a major consumer of acrylic staple fiber. In 2004, the latest estimates, it consumed about 1,125 thousand tons of acrylic fiber, of which 40% were of imported.
In 2005, acrylic fiber industry was adversely affected by rising raw material cost. Acrylonitrile was dearer by almost 22-23% in USA, 16-17% in Europe and by 20% in Asia during 2005. During the time, acrylic staple fiber prices increased at a lesser pace. They were up 15% in USA, 4% in Europe and 3-5% in Asia.
Acordis acrylic fibers and Solutia exited acrylic businesses in 2005. This led to decommissioning of almost 75,000 tons of production capacities. However, the additions were much more. Mitsubishi rayon, Hangzhou wan chemical fiber and Adyta Birla Group have commissioned 190,000 tons of capacities in china and Egypt. In the pipeline are capacities aggregating 235,000 tons of acrylic staple fiber. The projects are scheduled to come up in next two years. Turkish company Aksa was also planning to set up acrylic fiber plant in China.
