Textiles Library: Textiles Data Sources

The following textiles related resources are considered some of the core sources of textiles economic data. The unique information contained provides thorough overviews of the status of the industry. They include detailed research methodologies and analyses of collected data on synthetic fibers, cotton & wool, and fabric & apparel.

Synthetic Fibers

Fiber Organon
Fiber Organon is a monthly statistical review of global manufactured fiber information, presenting the latest data on industry trends in production, shipments, capacities, stocks, imports and exports, and consumption. Two issues in particular are important industry planning tools: The Worldwide Manufactured Fiber Survey, featured in the June issue every year, contains demand, production, capacity, consumption, and utilization data by fiber type and country or region; and the End Use Survey, published in the October issue, measures the amount of raw materials were necessary to produce end use items, such as apparel, floor coverings, and furniture. A brief explanation of data collection methods and/or summary of the data are provided. The comprehensiveness and currency of the data included, as well as the reputation of the publisher, the Fiber Economics Bureau, makes the journal one of the most important resources in fiber economics.
