Weaving of textiles

NACE code 13.2, 'Weaving of textiles', represents a crucial industry within the broader textile manufacturing sector. This industry is responsible for transforming raw fibers, such as cotton, wool, or synthetic materials, into woven fabrics that are essential for a wide range of consumer and industrial applications. The weaving of textiles plays a vital role in the global economy, providing the foundation for the production of clothing, home furnishings, and various industrial products.

The weaving of textiles involves the interlacing of warp and weft yarns to create a cohesive fabric. This process typically begins with the preparation of the warp and weft yarns, which may involve processes such as spinning, dyeing, and sizing. The yarns are then loaded onto a loom, where they are systematically interlaced to form the desired fabric structure. Advancements in weaving technology, such as the use of computerized looms and automated processes, have improved efficiency and quality in the industry.

The weaving of textiles requires a range of inputs, including raw fibers (e.g., 13.1 Preparation and spinning of textile fibers, 13.10 Manufacture of textiles), dyes and chemicals, and specialized machinery and equipment. The availability and quality of these inputs are crucial for the industry to maintain its competitiveness and meet the evolving demands of the market.

The primary output of the weaving of textiles industry is woven fabrics, which are then used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These include 14.1 Manufacture of wearing apparel, except fur apparel, 13.9 Manufacture of other textiles, and 31.0 Manufacture of furniture. The woven fabrics produced in this industry are essential for the production of clothing, home textiles, industrial textiles, and a wide range of other textile-based products.
