World markets for textile machinery: part 2—fabric manufacture, December 2016

43 pages, published in Issue 183, December 2016   Report price: Euro 635.00; US$ 835.00

This report examines general trends and provides analyses of the international fabric machinery market. 2015 was a mixed year for producers of fabric machinery. Shipments of electronic flatbed knitting machinery reached a record high in 2015. This was due primarily to growth in shipments to the textile industries in the three largest markets, namely China, Bangladesh and India. Furthermore, shipments of shuttleless looms were up for the first time since 2011 and were higher than their annual average over the ten years to 2015. However, shipments of hand knitting and semi-automatic flat knitting machinery ceased entirely in 2015 while shipments of single jersey machinery fell to their lowest level since 2003. Shipments of double jersey machinery also fell in 2015 although they were still at their second highest level on record.

This is what our customers say: "In 1987 I was working as a graduate-trainee in the buying teams at Marks & Spencer in London. I was asked to prepare a paper on the textile and clothing industry in Italy. In my search for information I discovered Textile Outlook International. The quality of information that this publication provided was nothing short of excellent. As I look back over the past 25 years, there have been several times that I've turned to the publications of Textiles Intelligence. They have always been of the highest quality and provided me with the opportunity to talk with confidence about the global textile & clothing industries. Today, I'm the Chief Supply Office for Umbro, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nike Inc. As I look back, of course there are many factors that have helped me to get to where I am today. I've no doubt that the information provided by Textiles Intelligence has been a contributory factor." (Peter G Allison; Chief Supply Officer; Umbro International Limited)
