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 demand, supply and prices for the forthcoming year. World fibre demand increased in 2012, reflecting an upturn in the global economic recovery. The increase was due mainly to a rise in demand for synthetic fibres. Natural fibre demand fell -- following an increase in the previous year -- and so did its share of total fibre output. The fall in natural fibre demand resulted from a decline in cotton output as growers were discouraged by weaker prices.
