Industry Statistics

Vol. 58/2015

International Cotton Industry Statistics presents data on the productive

capacity (spindles, rotors, airjets, shuttle and shuttle-less looms),
machinery utilization and raw materials consumption (cotton and man-
made fibres) in the short-staple organized (mill-) sector of the textile
industries in virtually all textile-producing countries in the world. The
information in this report is based on data collected from national textile
associations and other sources like import and export statistics, ICAC
and PCI Fibres.

Each of the three main sections in the publication (spinning, weaving,

raw materials consumption) begins with a graphical illustration of the
most salient features of some of the data contained in the subsequent
detailed tables.

The geographical grouping of countries is based on continents. For

Europe a further division has been made according to regions.

Notes to Weaving Machinery Tables

** Looms (75 cm or wider, installed in mills) primarily for weaving yarn spun on the cotton system.

a) In addition, there are approx. 30,000 powerlooms and over 500,000 handlooms in the non-mill sector.
b) Data quoted are for the mill industry only. In addition, in 2014/15, there were approx. 2.3 million powerlooms in the
decentralized sector. Furthermore, 20014/15 there were approx. 2.38 million handlooms.
c) In addition, there are approx. 20,000 handlooms in the non-mill sector.
d) In addition, there are approx. 30,000 handlooms in the non-mill sector.
e) In addition, there are approx. 70,000 handlooms in the non-mill sector.
f) In addition, there are approx. 200,000 powerlooms and 80,000 handlooms in the non-mill sector.
g) The figures for shuttle-less and shuttle looms exclude 5,278 towel looms.
h) SWAK members only
