Frequently Asked Questions
Apparel and clothing account for approximately 50% to 55% of viscose staple fibre demand, making them the largest end-use segment. Home furnishings and home textiles contribute around 15% to 20%, while wipes, hygiene, and medical textiles account for approximately 10% to 15%. Automotive textiles and other industrial applications represent the remaining 10% to 20%.
The manufacturing process begins with cellulose treated with caustic soda to produce white crumbs, which are then reacted with carbon disulfide to form viscose. This viscose is subsequently treated with sulfuric acid to form rayon filaments, which are stretched, washed, and cut to length for the finished fiber.
The key feedstocks and process chemicals include dissolving-grade cellulose pulp, caustic soda, carbon disulfide, and sulfuric acid. Cellulose pulp is estimated to account for around 55% to 65% of direct raw-material costs, while caustic soda contributes approximately 10% to 15%, carbon disulfide around 15% to 20%, and sulfuric acid and other chemicals about 5% to 10%.
The main cost drivers are dissolving-grade cellulose pulp and process chemicals, followed by energy consumption. Other important factors include carbon disulfide recovery and handling, plant utilization, labor, water consumption, waste treatment, maintenance, logistics, and distribution.
Asia-Pacific is estimated to account for around 80% to 85% of global viscose staple fibre manufacturing capacity, led by China and supported by major production bases in India, Indonesia, and other Asian countries. Europe is estimated at approximately 7% to 10%, North America at around 3% to 5%, and other regions at about 3% to 7%.
