Manmade Fibre Industry
Man-made fibres account for 68% of all fibres consumed worldwide. Their usage has been growing
in clothing, carpets, household textiles and a wide range of technical products - tyres, conveyor
belts, fillings for sleeping bags and cold-weather clothing, filters for improving the quality of air and
water in the environment, fire-resistant materials, reinforcement in composites used for advanced
aircraft production, and much else. Fibres can be precisely engineered to give the right combination
of qualities required for the end-use in question: appearance, handle, strength, durability, stretch,
stability, warmth, protection, easy care, breathability, moisture absorption and value for money, for
example. In many cases, they are used in blends with natural fibres such as cotton and wool.
Available data shows that total mill consumption of man-made fibres worldwide grew by 4.1 per
cent during 2013 over the previous year to reach 61 billion kg and in China by 8.5 per cent to
reach 38 billion kg. South Asia as a whole also registered positive growth whereas consumption in
India declined by 6.7 per cent and reached 2.1 billion kg during the year. Production of manmade
fibres is also growing substantially in all major manufacturing countries except India. Obviously,
it is not practicable to strategize the growth of manmade fibre based textiles industry based on our
own fibre production unless a dramatic increase in domestic production takes place. Removal of
Customs Duties and a substantial reduction of Excise Duties on MMFs and their raw materials will
strengthen both production and consumption of MMFs.
