In 2008, the United States was the third largest fiber producer in the world with an output of 4 million 600 thousand tons.

It accounts for 7.4% of the world's total output.

It is the fourth largest supplier of cotton to the country and the third largest supplier of man-made fiber / filament.

In terms of exports, the United States ranked first in the world in 2008 and the export volume was 3 million 300 thousand tons.

At the same time, it was also the fourth largest fiber / filament import country in the year.

Although the United States produces all types of fibers / filaments, the United States mainly produces cotton and nylon, which account for a major share of the world's supply.

The production of polyester is also large, but the share is small.

The United States no longer produces

Viscose fiber

Filament and acrylic staple fiber.

Over the years, the production of man-made fibres / filaments and cotton in the United States has declined rapidly.

In 1990s, the output of man made fiber / filament increased by 0.4% per year, while cotton output increased by 1% annually.

However, during the 10 years of 2000, the production of man-made fiber textiles began to accelerate and decreased by 5.1% in 2000-07.

At the same time,

cotton

Output increased by 1.6% per annum, although the planting area decreased by 3% annually.

The annual yield per unit area of cotton in the United States has increased significantly (per hectare).

Among them, nylon (741 thousand tons), polyester filament (415000 tons) and polyester staple fiber (646 thousand tons).

From a global perspective, the United States accounts for about 21% of the world's Nylon output, accounting for 2% of the polyester filament output, accounting for 5.4% of the polyester short line output.

Cotton production is 2 million 790 thousand tons, accounting for 12% of the world's annual output.
