Global Trends in Fibre Prices, Production and Consumption
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 and wool prices for the forthcoming year. World fibre demand in 2011 rose at a rate slower than in 2010, reflecting a slowdown in the global economic recovery. This rise in 2011 was due mainly to an increase in the demand for synthetic fibres and cellulosic fibres. Natural fibre demand was also up but the increase was limited to cotton as demand for wool and silk declined.
