Report summary

It also provides an overview of general trends in natural fibre production by fibre type, including animal fibres and plant-based fibres. World production of man-made fibres rose in 2024. Synthetic fibre production accounted for most of the rise, and most of the increase in synthetic fibre production was due to growth in polyester fibre output. Having said that, there was also a healthy rise in cellulosic fibre production.

Looking ahead, man-made fibre production is forecast to rise significantly between 2024 and 2030, and at the end of this period it is expected to account for 79% of global fibre production. The rate of growth of man-made fibre production between 2024 and 2030 will reflect similar rates of growth in the production of synthetic fibre and cellulosic fibre.
