Preparation and spinning of textile fibres
NACE v2.0 Code: C13.10
About preparation and spinning of textile fibres
NACE code 13.10 covers the preparation and spinning of textile fibres, a critical industry that forms the foundation of the global textile and apparel supply chain. This industry is responsible for transforming raw natural and synthetic materials into the yarns and threads that are subsequently woven, knitted, or otherwise processed into a wide range of textile products. As a key upstream sector, the performance and capabilities of the textile fibre preparation and spinning industry have a significant impact on the competitiveness and innovation potential of 13.20 Weaving of textiles, 13.30 Finishing of textiles, and other downstream textile manufacturing activities.
Production process
The main production techniques used in the textile fibre preparation and spinning industry involve a series of mechanical and chemical processes. Raw fibres, whether natural (e.g. cotton, wool, silk) or man-made (e.g. polyester, nylon, viscose), are first cleaned, carded, and combed to align and remove impurities. The prepared fibres are then spun into continuous yarn or thread using spinning frames or rotors. Depending on the desired properties of the final product, the spun yarn may undergo additional treatments such as twisting, plying, or dyeing before being packaged and distributed to textile manufacturers.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the textile fibre preparation and spinning industry include the raw fibre materials, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the various processing stages. Common natural fibre inputs include cotton, wool, silk, and linen, while synthetic fibres like polyester, nylon, and acrylic are also widely used. Key equipment includes carding machines, combing machines, spinning frames, and rotor spinning machines. The industry also relies on various chemicals, lubricants, and other consumables to facilitate the fibre preparation and spinning processes.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the textile fibre preparation and spinning industry are the various types of spun yarns and threads that are supplied to downstream textile manufacturing activities. These yarns and threads are then used as inputs for 13.20 Weaving of textiles, 13.30 Finishing of textiles, 14.11 Manufacture of leather clothes, 14.12 Manufacture of workwear, and other textile-based industries to produce a wide range of woven, knitted, and non-woven fabric products.
