Summary

The "World USA - 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.

USA produces about 2 million tons of manmade fibres/filament comprising nylon, polyester and vis-cose filament. In global perspective, it accounts for about 5% of World's manmade fibre production. In nylon polyester, both fibre and filament, it has a share of 30% in global supplies. The share in polyester fibre is 6%, polyester filament 2% and viscose filament 5%. It has completely stopped producing viscose staple fibre.

USA is the second largest producer of nylon after China and third largest in polyester staple and cotton production. It ranks fourth in viscose filament and distinct seventh in polyester filament production.

Manmade fibre/filament production in USA has declined steadily during the ATC period, particularly in viscose. During the ATC period 1995 to 2004, USA polyester production declined by 2% per annum while the decline in viscose production was sharper at 12% per annum. Post-WTO the growth rates have fallen further as USA was moving out of high cost fibre/filament production industry.

USA is still the largest exporter of cotton and the third largest producer of the fibre. In 2007, it was taken over by India in cotton production.
