Nylon - 1
by : --
Nylon production rose by 2% to 3.95 million tons. Production increased by 17% in China, and also grew in ASEAN and India. Production in Korea declined by 6% due to a dull domestic market, while production remained firm in Taiwan supported by vigorous exports. Production in the U.S. (the largest producer) decreased for the second straight year (down 2%), as carpet applications (which account for over 80% of production) slowed down. Production in Western Europe decreased by 1%; although textile applications were low, industrial material applications were vigorous.
