CPC v2.1 Code: 4461

About machinery for preparing, spinning, weaving and knitting textiles

cpc code 4461 covers the machinery and equipment used in the textile manufacturing industry. This industry plays a vital role in the global economy, producing the fabrics and materials that are essential for clothing, home furnishings, and a wide range of other products. The machinery and processes involved in textile production are highly specialized, requiring significant investment in technology and skilled labor.

Production process

The main production techniques used in this industry include spinning, weaving, and knitting. Spinning involves the transformation of raw fibers, such as cotton, wool, or synthetic materials, into yarn. Weaving then uses this yarn to create woven fabrics, while knitting produces fabrics through the interlocking of loops of yarn. These processes are facilitated by a range of specialized machinery, including spinning frames, looms, and knitting machines.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for this industry include raw textile fibers, such as 4621 Cotton, 4622 Wool, and 4623 Synthetic fibers. In addition, the industry relies on a range of machinery and equipment, including spinning frames, weaving looms, and knitting machines. Power sources, such as electricity, and skilled labor are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are woven and knitted fabrics, which are then used as inputs for a wide range of other industries, including 4471 Clothing manufacture, 4472 Textile finishing, and 4473 Manufacture of other textiles. These fabrics are essential for the production of clothing, home furnishings, and a variety of other textile-based products.
