According to the U.S. “Fiber Organon” Statistics show that in 2007 the World acetate fiber production 2.3 percent less than the previous year to 743,000 tons. Among them, the acetate filament production to 73,000 tons, accounting for acetate fibers 9.8 percent, with cigarette holder acetate tow production capacity of 670,000 tons, accounting for 90.2 percent. Over the years, the World acetate filament production continued to decline, cigarette holder with acetate tow despite the growth, but not increase, with the result that the entire acetate fiber production continued to decline.

1, acetate filament

World acetate filament production continued to decline over the years, in 2007 less than the previous year 9.0 percent to 73,000 tons. By region, Eastern Europe only to maintain the status quo, in other regions are reduced. Europe substantially less than the previous year 24.2 percent to 14,100 tons, accounting for 19.3 percent of the world. The main production in the Americas over the previous year, 6.8 percent for the reduction of 273,000 tons, accounting for 37.4 percent of the world, still the first. Asia to increase from last year’s reduction, 2.9 percent less than the previous year to 231,000 tons, accounting for 31.6 percent of world production.

2, acetate tow

In 2007, cigarette holder in the world with the production of acetate tow for the first time decreased by 1.5% over the previous year to 670,000 tons from the production area, the Inter-American production continued to decline, 2.6 percent less than the previous year to 304,000 tons, but Is still the largest producer of the world production ratio was 45.4 percent. Europe over the previous year 12.1 percent to significantly reduce 152,000 tons, the share from 25.4 percent the previous year dropped to 22.7 percent. China in 2006 reached 37.8 percent growth in high-speed 102,000 tons, for the first time exceeded 100,000 tons in 2007 to continue to grow, but the growth rate slowed down a lot, and last year increase by only 9.8 percent of the world share of 16.7 percent. China other than the rest of Asia from the previous year to reduce growth to 9.7 percent, a significant increase over the previous year 14.5 percent to 97,000 tons, accounting for 14.5 percent of the world.
