In the first quarter, Japan's domestic chemical fiber production reached 247000 tons, Year on year decrease 3.3%。 Among them, cellulose fiber was 44000 tons, down 0.3%. Among the four main chemical fiber varieties, the output of polyester filament was 42643 thousand tons, down 6%, which was closely related to the decline of exports of down jackets and outdoor high-density fabrics to European and American markets and the increase of inventories. Affected by the trend of energy conservation, the use of clothing lining fabric has also declined.

The prosperity of the European outdoor market has declined, and the appreciation of the yen has had a great impact on the sales of such products.

According to the data released by the Japan Chemical Fiber Association on June 27, Japan's chemical fiber output in May was 851040 tons, down 4.4% year on year, which was also a year-on-year decline for seven consecutive months. Among the main chemical fiber varieties, the polyester filament is 150340 tons, a slight increase of 0.7% year on year; Polyester staple fiber was 1.3115 tons, down 3% year on year; Nylon filament was 8326 tons, up 9.3% year on year; Resin S was 112.66 million tons, down 20.4%.

chemical fiber stock 95.079 million tons, up 3.7% month on month and 3.3% year on year. Among the main varieties, the polyester filament was 162160 tons, an increase of 8.6% over the previous month. Polyester staple fiber was 242370 tons, up 4.6%; Nylon filament was 9654 tons, up 0.1%, and resin S was 173500 tons, down 0.8%.
