World Viscose Trends in Demand and Supply 2008

The "World Viscose - Trends in Demand and Supply" is the Fourth compendium from YarnsandFibers presenting the demand and supply trends in manmade fiber industry. Time series on trends from 1990 to 2007 on production, imports, exports and apparent consumption is presented country-wise for 13 countries including all major Asian countries, USA and West Europe.

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 Region/Country wise View.

Viscose staple and filament production grew 11% in 2007, the fast growing segment among manmade fibre/yarns. During the year 400,000 tons of capacity was added, comprising almost entirely of staple fibre. Filament capacity addition was only 7,700 tons during the year. Production of staple fibre grew 13% while that of filament was up by 0.4%.

VSF production in China increased 18% while that of VFY was up 7%. However, consumption increased at a slower pace of 12% in case of VSF and faster at 10% in case of VFY. During the year, China exported 120,000 tons of VSF accounting for almost 25% of global trade.

India, the third largest producer and consumer of VSF recorded 14% increase in production while it exported around 25,000 tons. In case of VFY, India's production declined in 2007 by 2%. IT consumes around 250,000 tons of VSF per annum and around 40,000 tons of VFY. In 2007, VSF consumption in-creased 12% for VSF while it declined 4% for VFY.

Indonesia is the second largest producer and consumer of VSF. It is also the second largest exporter of VSF. It accounts for 11% of global capacity and contributes 13% of the supplies. During 2007, VSF pro-duction in Indonesia increased 16% while consumption was up 32% and accounted for almost 10% of global consumption.
