Introduction
The chemical compounds from which man-made fibers are produced are known as polymers, a class of compounds characterized by long, chain like molecules of great size and molecular weight
Man-made fiber are those fibers whose chemical composition, structure, and properties are significantly modified during the manufacturing process
into a huge number of consumer and industrial products, including garments such as shirts, scarves, and hosiery; home furnishings such as upholstery, carpets, and drapes; and industrial parts such as tire cord, flame-proof linings, and drive belts.
Scope of the Industry
Offers direct employment to over 35 million in the country.
India is the second producer but India will lead in all .
According to the Ministry of Man made fibers, the sector contributes about 14% to industrial production
4% to the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and
17% to the country's export earnings.
The share of man made fibers in total exports was 13.08% during April–July 2011, as per the Ministry of Man made fibers.
It is estimated that India would increase its man made fiber and apparel share in the world trade to 8% from the current level of 4.5% and reach US$80 billion by 2020.
During 2010-2011, Indian man made fibers industry was pegged at US$72 billion, 69% of which services domestic demand
Production scenario in India
India is the second largest producer of fibre in the world and the major fiber produced is cotton. Other fibers produced in India include silk, jute, wool, and man-made fibers. 60% of the Indian man made fiber Industry is cotton based.
In December 2011, the domestic cotton price was up by 56% as compared to the December 2010 prices.
The causes behind high cotton price are due to the floods in Pakistan and China. India projected a high production of man made fiber (325 lacs bales for 2010 -11).
There has been increase in India's share of global man made fiber trading to seven percent in five year. The rising prices are the major concern of the domestic producers of the country.
The Indian Picture
India is the second largest producer of man-made fibers in the world (World Fiber Report 2010), with production of 4.20 billion kg of man-made fibers in FY10
