Manufacture of man-made fibres

ISIC v4.0 Code: 2030

About manufacture of man-made fibres

isic code 2030 covers the manufacture of man-made fibres, which are synthetic or semi-synthetic fibres derived from various chemical compounds. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of products. Man-made fibres offer unique properties, such as durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness, making them a popular choice for manufacturers across various industries.

Production process

The production of man-made fibres typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as petrochemicals or cellulose, are processed into polymer solutions or melts. These are then extruded through spinnerets to form continuous filaments or staple fibres. The fibres may undergo further processing, such as drawing, crimping, or cutting, to impart desired characteristics. Finally, the man-made fibres are packaged and prepared for distribution to textile manufacturers and other downstream industries.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the manufacture of man-made fibres include petrochemicals, such as 2011 Manufacture of basic chemicals, and cellulose-based materials, such as 1711 Manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as extruders, spinnerets, and finishing equipment, which are often produced by 2829 Manufacture of other general-purpose machinery. The availability of skilled labor and access to reliable energy sources are also crucial for the efficient operation of this industry.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the man-made fibre manufacturing industry are a diverse range of synthetic and semi-synthetic fibres, including polyester, nylon, acrylic, and rayon. These fibres are then consumed by various downstream industries, such as 1311 Preparation and spinning of textile fibres, 1312 Weaving of textiles, and 1391 Manufacture of knitted and crocheted fabrics, which use them to produce a wide array of textile products, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial textiles.
