During the year, global production of polyester touched 25 million to tons. While staple fibre production grew 2.6%, filaments production increased 1.5%. Polyester accounts for over 75% of all man-made fibres 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 as per the latest report distributed by www.bharatbook.com : “Polyester Chain Report 2006”
Global polyester production capacity stands at 36 million tons, comprising 15 million tons of staple fibre and 21 million tons of filament yarns. Nearly 83 of staple fibre capacity and 89% of filament capacities are in Asia. China accounts for 53% of staple fibre 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.

“Polyester Chain Report: 2006” is a report distributed annually by www.bharatbook.com 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 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 2000 to 2005. Processes description, end use and derivatives along with the latest producer-wise capacity are added feature of this report.
