This report describes and forecasts world and regional demand for each of 109 different technical textile end-use products containing polyester and the consequent consumption of polyester in each of its forms (polymer, fibre, yarn and fabric).

• Steady growth forecast across all application areas and yarn types, but below historical trends
• Increased competition from other fibres in both nonwovens and other growth segments

The report describes and forecasts to 2010 the end-use consumption:

• of 109 separate end-use products containing polyester
• for the world overall
• and for 8 different regions: North America, South America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, South Asia, North East Asia, South East Asia and Rest of World (Middle East, Central Asia, Africa and Oceania).

It also makes derived forecasts for the components from which these end-use products are made:

• the 8 different types of polymer/fibre form used to make these end-use products: polymer chip, staple fibre, spun staple yarn, textile multifilament, high tenacity multifilament, Bulked Continuous Filament (BCF), monofilament, and tape/slit film
• the 6 different types of fabric used to make these end-use products: unspun fibre, woven fabric, knitted fabric, nonwoven fabric, yarn type products (e.g. sewing thread), other fabric (e.g. scaffold nets).
