global man-made fibre, nonwoven and technical textile industries. It
provides market data and analysis of new and established markets for technical
textiles, and is essential reading for senior executives in (or supplying) the
man-made fibre, nonwoven and technical textile sectors - as well as for those
who are not involved in the industry on a day-to-day basis, but who need an
authoritative source which helps them to quickly gain an
understanding of the key issues facing the companies which are actively
involved in this fast-growing sector.
