- Abstract
The article discusses the global BCF yarn market. The Swiss machinery company, Rieter estimated the global production of BCF carpet yarn at 2.1 million tons in 2003. The global capacity increased only by 2 percent. The installed capacities were divided as follows in 2003. Fifty-three percent in the United States and Canada, 27 percent in Europe and in Turkey, 12 percent in the Middle East and in Asia and 8 percent for the rest of the world. For 2004, Rieter has identified large investments in Turkey, and the Middle East and to a lesser extent in China and the U.S. In the U.S. plant utilization has returned to a normal level. There was a steady demand for PA BCF yarn. The U.S. is by far the number one market for PA BCF.
