REPORT SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS USED

INTRODUCTION
In 1997 David Rigby Associates (DRA) produced a report The World Technical Textiles
Industry and Its Markets: Prospects to 2005, following a commission from Messe
Frankfurt, the organisers of the Techtextil shows. This was widely welcomed as the first
comprehensive overview of the most thriving and fast changing yet poorly documented
and inconsistently quantified sector of the global textile industry.
In response to industry demand for an updated and more detailed assessment of the
market for technical textiles and industrial nonwovens (hereafter abbreviated to the
technical textiles market) DRA has developed a wholly new Technical Textiles
Consumption Forecasting model. This builds on the same underlying principles used in the
model behind the 1997 Report and incorporates additional knowledge and insight gained
from a further five years consulting and market research in the sector.
In simple terms, the model initially describes the current world market for each defined
technical textile product by country. This description is based on whatever statistics and
other information exists, complemented by DRAs accumulated knowledge of products and
markets, and on the identification of relevant economic, demographic and industry
drivers or indicators of end-use consumption for each product. With this information,
estimates can be made for each product for each country according to the value of the
relevant driver, adjusted to reflect different levels of market penetration in each case. Future
market forecasts are then made by factoring in forecast changes in the relevant drivers
(usually from third parties), again suitably modified by DRA to reflect projected changes in
ratios between drivers and consumption levels and any known other trends, particularly in
inter-fibre competition.
Full details of the new model, and the drivers behind it, are given in the Appendix.
The new model is able to handle far more product detail than its predecessor. These
enhancements in detail include:

The identification and separate quantification of 150 individual products, compared

with fewer than 100 in the previous analysis.

An analysis of each product/end-use by 19 individual fibre types (new).

An analysis by 8 forms of fibre used (e.g. polymer, unspun fibre, spun yarns, tape
yarns) (new).

A more detailed analysis of final textile product forms into 19 different types (e.g. loose
fibre, narrow woven fabrics, warp knits, dry-laid nonwovens) compared with 4
previously.

An assessment of coatings used (4 types plus uncoated) (new).

A greatly increased number of individual country markets for which forecasts are made
(210 compared with 25)

Full lists of the products and of the other variables and their subsets contained in the
Forecasting Model are presented in Exhibits A1 and A2 within the Appendix.
In addition, the new model pushes forward the forecast horizon to 2010, while also

enabling a year-by-year analysis of the shorter term (to 2004) to be performed on the basis
of a wide range of market drivers.
It is important to emphasise that, as written, this report includes only a small proportion of
the detailed analysis and market description available from the Forecasting Model. More
detailed analyses of technical textile and nonwovens markets could be made available on a
tailor-made basis to buyers of a complete version of this report. Anyone interested in this
service should contact DRA directly for more information.

AIMS OF THE REPORT

In order to keep the report a manageable size, the current study concentrates on end-uses
and country markets, with separate chapters (15 and 16) reporting at a compressed level of
detail on the overall technical textiles market in terms of fibre and yarn, and fabric type
usage, respectively.
Its purpose is to take a step further the understanding of products, markets and
technologies across the 12 end-use application areas of the world technical textiles and
industrial nonwovens market as defined by Messe Frankfurt for Techtextil. In particular, the
provision of both short-term yearly market estimates (to 2004) and longer term five yearly
trend forecasts (to 2010) at a more detailed level than previously will help both industry
participants and outsiders to identify market opportunities, direct new product
development, plan marketing campaigns, decide on capital investment plans, etc.
Target users of this report include:

Textile companies already operating in the sector

Textile companies who would like to be in the sector

Producers of fibres and intermediates

Suppliers of textile chemicals: process chemicals, coating compounds, effect chemicals,

etc

Textile machinery companies

DEFINITIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS

Set out below are the main assumptions and definitions underlying the volume and value
projections of the new DRA Technical Textiles Consumption Forecasting model and a
description of the main table formats used to present its findings. As indicated earlier, more
details on the structure and workings of the model are presented as an Appendix to this
report.

1.3.1

Forecasts of end-use textile consumption, not mill

consumption of fibres
As in the 1997 report, technical textiles consumption is defined in this study as taking place
where the textiles are first used by another industry outside the textile sector, rather than either
where the textile is produced or where the final product incorporating those textiles is
consumed.
Thus, the use of German-made automotive textiles within Japanese-built cars which are
subsequently exported to North America is attributed to the Asian region; likewise, clothing
components such as interlinings and threads which are incorporated into garments
manufactured in, say, Vietnam, are defined as being consumed in Asia, even if the finished
garments are then exported to, say, Europe.
A geotextile, on the other hand, is not considered to undergo any significant industrial
transformation before its eventual use in a civil engineering project. Consumption therefore
takes place at the point of final use.
Consequently the market estimates are not the volumes and values of mill consumption of fibre
by the technical textile industries of the countries/regions concerned. The difference, of course,
lies in technical textile trade between regions. On the whole, inter-regional trade in technical
textiles is still relatively limited although it is not always likely to remain so and is already
extensive for the more consumer-type products in areas such as sports and outdoor equipment.

1.3.2

Reporting levels
The 1997 report split technical textile products into four broad groups: yarn-based fabrics,
nonwovens, composites and other textiles, e.g. loose fibre, ropes, etc. No split was made
either by fibre, or by fibre form/yarn type. The new model allows the forecasts and analysis of
the technical textile market to be performed at several, detailed levels of the production chain:
by fibre type, by fibre form, and by fabric or other final textile product type.
For the purpose of this report, fibre types are grouped as follows:

natural

regenerated

synthetic

inorganic.

Most fibre-type forecasts in this report are made at this level of aggregation, although some
further detail is provided in Chapter 15 (see Section 1.4).
These fibre raw materials are used in technical textile products in one of many fibre forms. For
the purpose of this report, these fibre forms are grouped as follows:

polymer chip (used in melt-spun and similar nonwovens)

fibre (for use in carded nonwovens, in composites, cigarette tow or as loose fibre)

spun yarns

multifilament yarns

slit film/tape

monofilament yarns.

Most fibre form forecasts in this report are made at this level of aggregation, although again

1.3
2002

some further detail is provided in Chapter 15.

Textile products then leave the technical textile industry in one of many forms. For the
purposes of this report, these fabric or other final textile product types are grouped as follows:

unspun fibre (i.e. for use in composites, tow, fibrefill)

yarn type products (i.e. ropes, cords, twines, yarns, threads, other braids)

woven fabrics (broad, narrow or circular-woven)

knitted fabrics (warp, weft, sliver, Santoni or flat-bed)

nonwoven fabrics (dry-laid, wet-laid, air-laid or melt-spun)

other fabric types (e.g. knotted netting, tufted).

Most fabric/final textile product type forecasts in this report are made at this level of
aggregation, although some further detail is provided in Chapter 16 (see Section 1.4).
Exhibit 1.1 illustrates in simple terms how the various products in the technical textile
production chain described above inter-relate and are aggregated in this report.

1.3.3

Treatment of composites
As in the 1997 report, unless otherwise specified, the term composites in this study refers
to reinforcing fibres or textiles, embedded within a matrix of thermosetting or thermoplastic
polymer, mostly for structural end-uses. Unlike the previous report, however, where all
composites were aggregated together as textile products regardless of the nature of the
fibre or textile reinforcement, the current report identifies composites only as part of an
end-use segment (e.g. Building Reinforcements in Buildtech). The loose fibres, yarns, or
woven, knitted or nonwoven fabrics that represent the reinforcement of such composites
are included in their respective categories in the final textile product type analysis, but are
not separately identified.

1.3.4

Table structures
Most tables in this report show end-use consumption projections in volume (000 tonnes)
terms. In addition, tables showing values (US$ million) are provided for those market
estimates referring to volumes at the fibre type and final textile product type levels.
(Separate values at the fibre form level are not provided; such values are less meaningful,
being largely dependent on the fibre or polymer used). In all time-based tables, the final
two columns provide percentage compound annual growth rates (% CAGR) either for the
five year periods 1995-2000, 2000-2005, and 2005-2010, or for the shorter term two-year
periods 2000-2002 and 2002-2004. In the region/country tables, market estimates for
individual countries shown in italics (e.g. China) are included within the appropriate regional
totals above them.
As in the 1997 report, Oekotech covers those products which are considered by DRA to
have a high environmental protection characteristic, but which already appear and are
quantified within other application areas. Market estimates for Oekotech are therefore not
additional to those for the other eleven application areas and appear as separate items in all
tables.
In all tables, numbers may not add to totals due to rounding. Zeros imply quantities less
than half the final digit shown.

1.3.5

Volume definitions
Volume estimates are based solely on the weight of the textile fibre content of the finished
products. Textile fibres are defined as encompassing all natural, man-made and inorganic
fibres and yarns including polymer chip made directly into nonwovens, staple fibres,
multifilament and monofilament yarns, slit film and tapes (other than extruded strapping
tapes - see Chapter 11). Wood pulp is included only in those few applications (e.g. wipes)
where it is used as an air-laid nonwoven and as such competes with more traditional
fibres. All textile glass is included, down to the shortest milled fibres and chopped strands
(mostly used in composites), but glass wool (mostly used for insulation) is excluded. Fibres
used in flocked fabrics are notionally included, but volumes in technical textiles are
insignificant.
In the case of natural fibres (other than cotton and wool), the report considers all
mainstream uses of the principal textile fibres, including (unlike in the 1997 Report) jute
sacks, but does not attempt to account for every tonne of the highly variable and largely
unquantifiable volume of surplus bast fibre resulting from bountiful harvests.
In the case of all other fibres, total technical textile volume estimates have been subjected to
a reality check by subtracting DRAs own estimates for fibre consumption in non-technical
end-uses such as clothing and household textiles (as derived from its broader All End-uses
Consumption Forecasting Model) from estimates of overall apparent fibre availability
according to reputable industry sources such as the Fiber Economics Bureau (US), CIRFS
(the European Man-made Fibre Producers Association) and the Japanese Chemical Fibres
Association. Only in the area of polyolefin fibre, which is produced largely in small scale
operations which are more difficult to quantify, are there significant doubts about the level
of overall fibre availability (particularly for China).

1.5
2002

1.3.6

Value definitions
In the area of values, the new model has enabled the value added by all the various fabric
forming, finishing and coating processes to be included in the value attributable to the
technical textiles industry. This has resulted in a considerable difference amongst the
different application areas when compared with the previous report where such value
adding processes were excluded (see Chapter 2). However, conversion costs incurred
further down-stream, such as cutting, making-up and packaging, have been in general
excluded from the calculations for the current report.
Unit values for fibres and finished products have been based on Quarter 1 2002; these
prices have been applied to all volumes in the report, regardless of the year in question. No
attempt has been made to amend prices over time in line with inflation, nor to forecast
future fibre prices, for example in light of possible supply shortages in future years.
However, finished product prices do vary over time or between regions to the extent that
there are differences in the constituent parts of the product.

SCOPE AND STRUCTURE OF THE REPORT

Chapter 2: Technical Textiles Overview and Overall Forecasts and Conclusions for the
Sector presents an overview of the technical textiles industry, discussing its scope, size,
growth and dynamics. It provides summary forecasts for the market in total and identifies
and briefly analyses differences from the estimates made in the 1997 DRA report. It
describes the main trends by application area and by region, as well as reviewing the split of
the market by broad fibre type, fibre form and final product type.
The Chapter concludes with a comprehensive set of summary tables divided into four parts:
Part A

Forecast time series by region/country:

forecasts by volume and value for technical textiles by region/country on both a
five yearly basis from 1995 to 2010 and on a yearly basis from 2000 to 2004.

Part B

Forecast time series by application area:

forecasts by volume and value for technical textiles by application area on both a
five yearly basis from 1995 to 2010 and on a yearly basis from 2000 to 2004.

Part C

Analysis by region /country against application area:

a snapshot analysis of consumption by region/country against application area in
both volume and value terms for 2000 and 2010.

Part D

Forecast time series by fibre type, fibre form, final product type:
forecasts by volume for technical textiles by broad fibre type, fibre form and final
product type on a five yearly basis from 1995 to 2010.

Chapters 3: Agrotech, 4: Buildtech, 5: Clothtech, 6: Geotech, 7: Hometech, 8: Indutech, 9:

Medtech, 10: Mobiltech, 11: Packtech, 12: Protech, 13: Sporttech, 14: Oekotech, address
separately each of the application areas defined by Messe Frankfurt. The scope and product
range of each of these 12 areas are defined, together with the specific end-use segments
for which individual forecasts are made. A commentary is given on the main factors that are
driving demand for technical textiles in the sector. The influences of industry and market
structure and new technologies are considered, and appropriate marketing opportunities
and strategies examined.
Each Chapter also contains a detailed set of forecasts for the relevant application area,
based on the DRA Technical Textiles Consumption Forecasting model. These are divided
into four parts:
Part A

Long-term forecast time series:

forecasts for the application area by volume and value on a five yearly basis by
region from 1995 to 2010.

Part B

Short-term forecast time series:

forecasts for the application area by volume and value over the period 2000 to
2004. Tables include forecasts on a yearly basis by region, by fibre type, by fibre
form, and by fabric/other final textile product type, (showing total coated).

Part C

Short-term forecast time series by end-use segment:

forecasts of consumption by volume and value split by the individual end-use
segments of the application area for each year from 2000 to 2004 (not included
in Chapter 14, Oekotech).

1.8
2002

Part D

End use segment snapshot analysis:

a snapshot analysis of consumption by end-use segment in 2000 by region, fibre
type, fibre form and fabric/final textile product type (not included in Chapter 14,
Oekotech).

Chapter 15: Fibres and Yarns examines in more detail the fibre types and fibre forms used
within technical textiles, looking at existing segmentation and analysing growth prospects
within the market by fibre and yarn type, by region, application area and end-use. A detailed
set of forecasts, based on the DRA Technical Textiles Consumption Forecasting model, is
provided. These forecasts are divided into four parts:
Part A

Long-term total market forecast time series:

forecasts of end-use consumption of technical textiles in total, by fibre type in
value and volume terms and by fibre form in volume terms, on a five yearly basis
from 1995 to 2010.

Part B

Short-term total market forecast time series:

forecasts of end-use consumption of technical textiles in total, by fibre type in
value and volume terms and by fibre form in volume terms, on a yearly basis from
2000 to 2004.

Part C

Snapshot analyses by application area and region:

forecasts for end-use consumption of technical textiles in total by fibre type and
fibre form, in volume terms against application area and region in 2000 and 2010.

Part D

Fibre type, fibre form, fabric type cross tables:

forecasts for end-use consumption of technical textiles in total by fibre type
against fibre form and fabric/other final textile product type, and by fibre form
against fabric/other final textile product type in 2000 and 2010.

In addition to analysing fibres in four broad groupings (natural, regenerated, synthetic and
inorganic), this chapter also provides estimates for the overall split of consumption of fibres in
technical textiles by individual main fibre type, i.e. cotton, other-natural, polyester,
polyamide, polyolefin, acrylic, viscose, other cellulosic, glass, other.
Similarly, in addition to the usual split of fibre form into 6 groups (polymer chip, fibre, spun
yarns, multifilament yarns, monofilament yarns and slit film/tape), this chapter splits the total
usage of multifilament yarn in technical textiles into regular tenacity, BCF and high tenacity
variants.
Chapter 16: Fabrics and Other Final Textile Products looks in a similar way at the fabrics and
other textile product types as they leave the technical textiles industry and the outlook for
each major product type by region, application area, end-use and coating level. A detailed set
of forecasts, based on the DRA Technical Textiles Consumption Forecasting model, is
provided. These forecasts are divided into four parts:
Part A

Long-term total market forecast time series:

forecasts by volume and value of end-use consumption of technical textiles by
fabric and other final textile product, showing total coated, on a five yearly basis
from 1995 to 2010.

Part B

Short-term total market forecast time series:

forecasts by volume and value of end-use consumption of technical textiles by
fabric and other final textile product, showing total coated, on a yearly basis from
2000 to 2004.

1.9
2002

Part C

Snapshot analyses by application area and region:

forecasts for end-use consumption of fabrics and other final textile products in
technical textiles by volume and value against application area and region in
2000 and 2010 and by volume against fibre type and fibre form in 2000 and
2010.

Part D

Coated fabric forecast time series

forecasts for end-use consumption of coated fabrics and other final textile
product in technical textiles by volume and value, by region and application area
from 1995 to 2010.

In addition to analysing fabrics and other final textile products into six broad groupings
(woven, knitted, nonwoven, other fabrics, unspun fibre and yarn-type products), this
chapter also looks at the use of each of the main individual technologies used within each
group and provides estimates for total technical textiles consumption split by these subtechnologies, as follows:

1.5.

Broad-woven, narrow-woven, circular-woven (wovens)

Warp-knitted, weft-knitted (knits)

Dry-laid, air-laid, wet-laid, extruded (nonwovens)

Tufted, knotted nets (other fabrics)

Braided, non-braided yarns (yarn-type products).

ONGOING REFINEMENT
As mentioned above, the current model is a development of that used in the 1997 report,
and the resulting numbers an enhancement in terms of both detail level and quality. In a
similar fashion, it is the intention to continue to develop and refine both the model and the
accuracy of the forecasts, probably at even greater level of detail, over future years. DRA is
already looking at new variables such as yarn titre, texturising and twist level, lamination,
etc, and would be pleased to receive any suggestions on how the usefulness of the current
model might best be enhanced further.
