Chemical fiber industry worldwide - statistics & facts
Chemical or man-made fibers refer to those produced by humans by a series of chemical processes, as opposed to natural fibers like cotton or wool, which are derived from plants or animals. Chemical fibers account for roughly 77 percent of the total fiber production worldwide and include synthetic fibers such as polyesters or polyamides and man-made cellulosic fibers like viscose or rayon.
