Manufacture of knitted and crocheted fabrics

NACE v2.0 Code: C13.91

About manufacture of knitted and crocheted fabrics

NACE code 13.91 covers the manufacture of knitted and crocheted fabrics, a crucial component of the textile industry. This sector plays a vital role in the global economy, providing essential materials for a wide range of products, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial applications. The manufacture of knitted and crocheted fabrics is a highly specialized process, requiring skilled workers and advanced machinery to produce high-quality, versatile textiles.

Production process

The production of knitted and crocheted fabrics typically involves the use of knitting machines, which use a series of needles to loop yarn or thread into a continuous fabric. This process can be done using various techniques, such as weft knitting, where the yarn is fed horizontally, or warp knitting, where the yarn is fed vertically. The resulting fabrics can be further processed, such as dyeing, printing, or finishing, to achieve the desired characteristics and appearance.

Production inputs

The manufacture of knitted and crocheted fabrics relies on a variety of raw materials, including natural fibers like cotton, wool, and silk, as well as synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. In addition to the yarn or thread, the industry also requires specialized machinery, such as knitting machines, dyeing equipment, and finishing tools. Energy, water, and skilled labor are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the NACE code 13.91 industry is the production of knitted and crocheted fabrics, which are then used as inputs for a wide range of other industries. These fabrics are commonly used in the manufacture of 14.10 Manufacture of wearing apparel, 13.92 Manufacture of made-up textile articles, and 31.01 Manufacture of office and shop furniture, among others. The versatility of knitted and crocheted fabrics makes them a valuable resource for many downstream industries.
