Report description

HIGHLIGHTS
The polyester industry expanded 9.5% in terms of value to US$33 billion and by 2% in terms of volume in 2005. During the year, global production of polyester touched 25 million to tons. While staple fiber production grew 2.6%, filaments production increased 1.5%. Polyester accounts for over 75% of all man-made fibers produced in the world. During the last 5-year period ended 2005, polyester production has increased at a rate of 5% per annum. However, the next 4-5 years would see the growth slowing down to around 4% per annum.

Global polyester production capacity stands at 36 million tons, comprising 15 million tons of staple fiber and 21 million tons of filament yarns. Nearly 83 of staple fiber capacity and 89% of filament capacities are in Asia. China accounts for 53% of staple fiber and 57% of filament yarn global capacity. India, Indonesia, South Korea and Taiwan are the other major producers of polyester in the world. Outside Asia, USA and Turkey are the major producers.

In terms of trade, Asia is the net exporter of polyester in the world. In polyester staple fiber segment, South Korea and Taiwan are major exporters while China and USA are major importer. Similarly, in polyester filament market, China, Mexico and Brazil are major importers while South Korea, Taiwan, Mexico, Indonesia and Malaysia are major exporting countries.

In 2005, polyester industry was heavily weighed by the rise in crude oil prices which had raised prices of PTA and MEG – the raw material for polyester production.

REPORT PREFACE
This “Polyester Chain Report: 2006” contains 195 pages packed with up-to-date statistics on the entire value chain beginning from propylene further to intermediate – Paraxylene to Polyester Fibre/Filament. The Report presents tabulation and graphical presentation of trends and status of demand and supply in polyester 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.

The electronic version is available for Euro 350 or equivalent in other currency. Hard copy is available on request with printing and postage charges extra.
