The Fiber Year - world staple fibers

摘要

Global supply of staple fibers in 2020 accounted for nearly 59 million tonnes, 52% of the world fiber and yarn market. Their share continuously diminished from more than 80% in the 1980s. Development after the turn of the millennium clearly revealed a distinct tendency in favor of mainly wood-based types comprised of viscose, modal and lyocell fibers. They started their recovery 20 years ago with dynamic growth just interrupted by the financial crisis of 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic.
