Customer sectors for technical textiles in Russia grow
March 01/2012
(textination) -- Russia's light industry has been
decreasing since years. There are only a handful of specialty textile
manufacturers. The bulk of the merchandise is imported.
It is the same
with technical textiles. Demand is expected further to rise, because in the
coming years the expenditure for health care and production volume in the
automotive sector will increase. The construction industry also looks towards
better times. That should bring German manufacturers of technical textiles ample
orders.
The demand for chemical fibers and yarns in Russia is expected to
grow in the years 2010 to 2013 by one third. This Russian experts have predicted
mid-November 2011. As a result, sales of man made fibers is expected to increase
to 186 130 t and to 133 600 tons of chemical yarns in 2013. Domestic production
covers the national needs with just 46%. The balance needs to be imported.
