Summary

The "World Japan - Trends in Demand and Supply" is the Fourth compendium from YarnsandFibers presenting the demand and supply trends in manmade fiber industry.

In this Report we have assesses the impact of the expiry of the MFA and ATC and the scenario post-WTO in global manmade fibre/filament industry and natural fibres, particularly cotton, and how each country prepared and positioned itself in the global market. The analysis assesses the positions of fi-bres/filaments industry and their producers and consumers as events unfolded. Like in case of MFA, the period under consideration is pre-1995, for ATC it is 1995 to 2004 and post-WTO it is 2005 to 2007.

The purpose of this compendium is to serve as a basic information infrastructure for textile companies and to all those who are related to fibres and yarns industry. The compendium will also serve as a ready to use reference and the presentation help easy and quick consumption of the information.

The Report is divided into two sections: Global View and Country View.

It begins with summarising the events and the Principles Guiding World Trade.

Statistics indicate that Japan is steadily moving out of fibre/filament manufacture. It has all along being a major exporter of textile fibre until 2000. In 1990, Japan's manmade fibre/filament industry accounted for 12% of global supplies, which steadily declined to 5% in 2000 and in 2007, it accounted for just 2%. Thus, the importance of Japan as a major supplier is fast diminishing. Nevertheless, it is still one of the 10 top suppliers and consumer of many fibre/filament. Currently, it produces less than 1 million tons of manmade fibre/filament annually. Its consumption is around 850,000 tons.

Globally, it is the third largest producer of acrylic staple and viscose filament, sixth largest in viscose staple, eighth largest in nylon, ninth in polyester staple and tenth largest in polyester filament.

In consumption, Japan is third largest in viscose filament and sixth largest in nylon. It is distinct ninth largest consumer of polyester staple and tenth largest in polyester filament consumption.
