Yarn (other than sewing thread) of artificial staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of such fibres, not put up for retail sale

cpc code 26450 covers the production of yarn from artificial staple fibers, which are fibers that have been manufactured rather than naturally occurring. This industry plays a crucial role in the textile and apparel supply chain, providing a key input for the production of a wide range of fabrics and garments. The demand for these yarns is driven by factors such as population growth, changing fashion trends, and the increasing preference for synthetic materials in various applications.

The production of yarn under cpc code 26450 typically involves several key steps. First, the artificial staple fibers are spun into continuous yarn through a process known as spinning. This can be done using various techniques, such as ring spinning, open-end spinning, or air-jet spinning, depending on the desired yarn characteristics. The spun yarn may then undergo additional processing, such as twisting, plying, or dyeing, to impart specific properties or aesthetics.

The main inputs required for the production of yarn under cpc code 26450 include artificial staple fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. These fibers are typically manufactured from petrochemical feedstocks. In addition, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as spinning frames, winding machines, and dyeing equipment, as well as energy sources, water, and various chemicals used in the production and finishing processes.

The primary output of the industry covered by cpc code 26450 is yarn, which is then consumed by various downstream industries, such as 26460 Woven fabrics of artificial staple fibres, 26470 Knitted or crocheted fabrics of artificial staple fibres, and 26480 Sewing thread of artificial filaments or artificial staple fibres. These yarns are used in the production of a wide range of textile products, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial applications.
