Japan's MMF output increases 2.8% in April 2017

Japan produced 79,590 tons of man-made fibre (MMF) in April 2017, registering an increase of 2.8 per cent year-on-year. While synthetic fibre output fell 3.1 per cent to 62,680 tons, cellulosic fibre production rose 33 per cent to 16,910 tons, Japan Chemical Fibers Association said based on the official data from the ministry of economy, trade and industry.

Among synthetic fibres, output of acrylic staple fibre increased by 1.3 per cent year-on-year to 11,873 tons, while that of nylon filament rose 9.5 per cent to 8,246 tons, and polyester filament up 0.5 per cent to 8,246 tons.

However, polyester staple fibre production decreased by 17.3 per cent to 7,885 tons, owing to structural reforms being undertaken by companies.

During January-April 2017, total MMF production in Japan amounted to 304,547 tons, registering a drop of 2.1 per cent year-on-year. Of this, synthetic fibre production accounted for 238,981 tons, down 5.9 per cent, whereas cellulosic fibre production was 65,566 tons, up 14.4 per cent. (RKS)

2017年4月日本人造纤维产量上涨2.8%

据日本化学纤维协会称，2017年4月日本人造纤维产量同比上涨2.8%至79590吨，而合成纤维产量则同比下降3.1%至62680吨，纤维素纤维产量同比上涨33%至16910吨。

合成纤维中，腈纶短纤维产量同比增加1.3%至11873吨，尼龙长丝产量同比上涨9.5%至8246吨，聚酯长丝产量同比上涨0.5%至8246吨。

然而，由于企业采取结构性改革举措，涤纶短纤维产量同比下降17.3%至7885吨。

2017年1月至4月，日本人造纤维总产量达304547吨，同比下降2.1%。合成纤维产量为238981吨，占总量的5.9%，而纤维素纤维产量为65566吨，同比增长了14.4%。
