Trends in the fibre sector are an important indicator of future trends in textiles and apparel as a whole. This report provides an overview of general trends in fibre prices, production and consumption by country and region. It also provides insight, information, data and analysis of the key fibre types -- natural and man-made. Furthermore, it provides forecasts of cotton and wool prices for the forthcoming year following the price hikes of 2010/11 which caused considerable problems for the global textile industry. World fibre production rose in 2010, reflecting the global economic recovery. However, demand for man-made fibres grew at a faster rate than demand for natural fibres, whose share fell for the fourth consecutive year.
