Oerlikon Key Markets

According to the textile book “The Fiber Year 2018”, the world fiber market saw renewed growth after reaching an all-time high of 103 million tons, an increase of 4 %, in 2018.

This increase is a welcome signal for growth after four consecutive years of slowing growth rates in the market. The manmade fibers market is expected to continue growing faster than the natural fibers market, driven by population and industrial growth. With manmade fibers comprising 69 % of the global market, Oerlikon technologies can meet the needs of the growing industry, 
serving a very broad range of applications, ranging from apparel, home textiles and hygiene products to geotextiles and industrial textiles.
