Asia-Pacific Dominates the Market
Asia-Pacific had the highest share in the market, accounting for around 62% of the global market in 2017. As textile production capacities continue to shift to Asia from Europe and North America, consumption growth has started to expand in Asia-Pacific region. China, India, and Indonesia dominate the viscose fibers production in Asia-Pacific region, and the export market of viscose yarns and fabrics.
China is the Largest Consumer
China is one of the major producers and consumers of VSF. The increasing yarn production in China has been boosting the demand for VSF. The Asian yarn production, in Q1 of 2016, increased by 21% - quarter on quarter, mainly driven by the Chinese yarn industry. The yarn production has been increasing due to the increasing production of non-woven fabrics in the country.
However, the Chinese VSF industry has been witnessing a major issue of surplus production capacities. The government has released new regulations for limiting the viscose capacities in the country. Furthermore, the wages in China have been increasing gradually, due to of which, the textile production is expected to shift to low-wage ASEAN countries, thereby, affecting the sales of VSF in the country. The surplus production capacities and record high cotton inventories are estimated to dominate the global market over the forecast period.
