About finishing of textiles

NACE code 13.30 covers the finishing of textiles, an essential industry that plays a vital role in the broader textile and apparel supply chain. This industry is responsible for the final processing and treatment of fabrics, ensuring they meet the desired aesthetic and functional requirements before being used in the manufacture of various textile products. The finishing of textiles is a crucial step that enhances the appearance, durability, and performance of the materials, making them suitable for a wide range of applications across multiple industries.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the finishing of textiles industry include dyeing, printing, bleaching, mercerizing, and other specialized treatments. These processes are designed to impart specific properties to the fabrics, such as color, pattern, water resistance, or improved softness. Dyeing, for example, involves the application of dyes to the textile fibers, while printing techniques are used to create intricate designs and patterns on the fabric surface. Bleaching and mercerizing are treatments that improve the fabric's appearance and texture, making it more suitable for various end-uses.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the finishing of textiles industry include raw textile materials, such as 13.10 Preparation and spinning of textile fibers, 13.20 Weaving of textiles, and 13.93 Manufacture of carpets and rugs. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of chemicals, dyes, and specialized machinery to carry out the various finishing processes. Skilled labor, energy, and water resources are also essential inputs for the efficient operation of textile finishing facilities.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the finishing of textiles industry are the treated and processed fabrics, which are then used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These include the 14.11 Manufacture of leather clothes, 14.12 Manufacture of workwear, 14.13 Manufacture of other outerwear, and 14.14 Manufacture of underwear sectors, as well as the 13.92 Manufacture of made-up textile articles, except apparel and 13.94 Manufacture of cordage, rope, twine and netting industries.
