Summary

The "World Korea - 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.

South Korea is the fourth largest producer of nylon and polyester filament, fifth largest in polyester staple and sixth largest in viscose filament in the World. In 2007, it produced 1.45 million tons of manmade fibre/filament accounting for 3.5% of global supplies.

Consumption wise, South Korea is fourth largest polyester filament consumer and fifth largest in viscose filament. It is distinct seventh largest consumer of nylon.

South Korea was a major exporter of VSF in 2007, ranking second in the 94,000 tons. It was also a ma-jor exporter of PFY ranking sixth in World and eighth in nylon. With 42,000 tons of ASF exports, South Korea ranks ninth in the World.
In early 1990s, South Korea was one of the major importers of cotton accounting for 6% of global cot-ton trade ad volumes at 450,000 tons. However, recent import volumes are just above 200,000 tons.
