Report summary

Trends in the fibre sector are an important indicator of future trends in textiles and apparel as a whole. This report provides an overview of general trends in fibre prices, production and consumption by country and region. It also provides insight, information, data and analysis of the key fibre types –natural and man-made.

Furthermore, it provides forecasts of cotton demand, supply and prices for the forthcoming year. World man-made fibre production rose in 2013 but the growth rate was lower than the hike achieved in the previous year.

Not surprisingly, the 2013 rise was sustained by growth in China – the world's largest producer. The increase was due mainly to a rise in demand for synthetic fibres.

Production of natural fibres, meanwhile, fell following a decline in the previous year. The fall resulted from a decline in cotton production.
