Description

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of trends in natural fibre production and man-made fibre production by fibre type. In addition, it provides forecasts of cotton fibre demand, supply and prices for the 2025/26 season (August 1, 2025-July 31, 2026), and man-made fibre production forecasts to 2030. Global production of man-made fibres rose in 2024. Synthetic fibre production accounted for most of the rise in global man-made fibre production and most of the increase in synthetic fibre production was due to growth in polyester fibre output. Having said that, there was also a healthy rise in cellulosic fibre production. By contrast, production of natural fibres fell in 2024 to its lowest level for several years. The fall reflected, primarily, a decline in cotton production. Looking ahead, man-made fibre production is forecast to rise between 2025 and 2030, and it is expected to account for 79% of global fibre production at the end of this period. In the case of cotton fibre, it is predicted that global production will fall in the 2025/26 season. Global consumption of cotton fibre is also expected to fall during the season, reflecting growing uncertainty surrounding political tensions and consumer demand. However, cotton prices are forecast to remain stable, and this should help to maintain consumption close to the level seen in the 2024/25 season.
