Held together: Consumer spending and the depreciating Canadian dollar will stitch back the industry

In the past five years, the Synthetic Fibre Manufacturing industry faced unfavourable conditions in the construction sector, causing many industry operators to shut down or move abroad. Nevertheless, as consumer spending expands, downstream manufacturers increase production and thus purchase more synthetic fibre inputs. Therefore, over the five years to 2017, IBISWorld estimates that industry revenue will increase. Over the next five years, the Synthetic Fibre Manufacturing industry is expected to steadily grow, though revenue will still remain far below prerecessionary levels...read more.

    Industry Report - Industry Investment Chapter

    The Synthetic Fibre Manufacturing industry in Canada has a moderate level of capital intensity. Operators must invest a substantial amount of capital in equipment and machinery to mix, melt and dissolve chemical inputs and extrude synthetic fibres. In addition, manufacturers depend on skilled labour to operate this machinery and equipment. The industry workforce is technically trained on the different types of fibres, which are suitable for certain applications and which processes impart the most desirable qualities for end-use products. However, improvements in automated production have diminished demand for labour over the past five years, prompting capital intensity to rise. In 2017, for every dollar allocated toward labour, operators spend an estimated $0.41 o...purchase to read more.

    • Filament Yarn
  • Yarn composed of continuous filaments assembled with or without twist.
    • Monofilament
  • Synthetic thread or yarn composed of a single strand.
    • Most Favoured Nation Tariff
  • The trade status of a country that is characterized by low tariffs and limited restrictions. It is also commonly referred to as Normal Trade Relations (NTR).
    • Noncellulosic Fibre
  • Fibres formed by the polymerization and subsequent extrusion of synthetic organic chemicals and refined petroleum products. Nylon, polyester and polyolefin are noncellulosic fibres.
    • Offshoring
