Textile yarn and thread of man-made filaments or staple fibres

CPC v2.1 Code: 264

About textile yarn and thread of man-made filaments or staple fibres

cpc code 264 covers the production of textile yarn and thread made from man-made filaments or staple fibres. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the manufacturing of a wide range of fabric products. The demand for these textile inputs is driven by the global growth in textile and clothing production, as well as the increasing preference for synthetic and blended fabrics in consumer markets.

Production process

The production of textile yarn and thread under cpc code 264 typically involves several key steps. First, man-made filaments or staple fibres, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic, are extruded and drawn into continuous filaments or short fibres. These are then spun into yarn through processes like twisting, plying, or texturing. The resulting yarn may undergo further finishing treatments, such as dyeing or winding, to meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of textile yarn and thread under cpc code 264 include man-made filaments or staple fibres, such as 266 Synthetic fibres and 267 Artificial fibres. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for extrusion, spinning, and finishing processes, as well as various chemicals and auxiliaries used in the production and treatment of the textile inputs.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the cpc code 264 industry are various types of textile yarn and thread, which are then consumed by 265 Knitted or crocheted fabrics and 266 Woven fabrics manufacturers, as well as producers of 267 Made-up textile articles, except apparel, 268 Apparel and clothing accessories, and other textile-based products.
