About wool and fine or coarse animal hair, carded or combed

cpc code 2615 covers the industry responsible for processing wool and other fine or coarse animal hair. This industry plays a crucial role in the textile supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide range of clothing, furnishings, and other textile products. As a key component of the broader agricultural and manufacturing sectors, the wool and animal hair processing industry contributes significantly to the global economy.

Production process

The main production techniques used in this industry involve carding and combing the raw wool or animal hair. Carding is the process of cleaning, disentangling, and aligning the fibers, while combing further straightens and removes shorter fibers, resulting in a more uniform and higher-quality product. These processes prepare the material for subsequent spinning, weaving, or other textile manufacturing operations.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry are the raw wool and animal hair materials, which are sourced from livestock farms and other agricultural producers. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the carding and combing processes, as well as various chemicals and treatments to clean, dye, and condition the fibers.

Production outputs

The main outputs of this industry are the carded and combed wool and animal hair products, which are then consumed by 2630 Spinning of textile fibers and 2640 Manufacture of textiles, among other downstream industries. These processed fibers are essential inputs for the production of a wide range of textile goods, including clothing, carpets, upholstery, and industrial textiles.
