  The World Synthetic Fibres Supply/Demand Report 2007
 Red Book 
This report, commonly known as the Red Book, is available now.

The new edition of PCI’s Red Book (World Synthetic Fibres Supply/Demand Report 2007) gives an up-to-date review of the market, noting especially the growing influence of China. Demand prospects at consumer and mill level for all types of textile fibre (natural and manufactured) are analysed, with production estimates that relate to existing and future capacity for the main synthetics (acrylic, nylon, polyester). For the first time, the mill demand analysis splits out the various components of nylon and polyester filament; that is, as textile, industrial and carpet filament, with allowance for variations such as filament spunbonded fabrics. The supply side for the different types of nylon and polyester fibre is presented in the form of country production data and company capacity by plant. In the capacity tables, note is also made by country of the different types of industrial filament (HDI, LDI, mono) as well as filament spunbonded (FSB). 

The report for 2007 contains over 400 pages together with a CD. Data years run from 1990 to 2006 for acrylic, nylon and polyester, with estimates for 2007 and forecasts from 2008 to 2015. The supply and demand volumes are consolidated into 13 global regions in a series of unique supply/demand graphs which lead to a world overview for the main synthetics.
