< p > in the first half of 2013, the output of Indonesia synthetic and polyester fiber (polyester staple) was lower than that of the 275 thousand tons in the first half of 2012.

In addition, the depressed economic conditions in Europe and the United States are the main reasons for the sluggish production of synthetic fiber in Indonesia.

< p > Europe and the United States are the main export destinations for synthetic fibers in Indonesia.

Vera Vaz Da, Secretary General of the Indonesia synthetic fiber manufacturers association (APSYFI), mentioned that demand growth from the US in the first half of this year did not improve significantly, but increased by only 1%, while demand from Europe dropped by 20%-30%.

< p > in the first half of 2013, the output of synthetic fiber from China was still in a dominant position, and last year's inventory was exhausted.

Therefore, the domestic output has been affected.

Vera Vaz Da said.

Vera Vaz Da P remains optimistic about the rise in polyester fiber production in Indonesia in the second half of this year. He thinks that the output in the second half of this year will increase to 325 thousand tons, leading to a total output of 600 thousand tons this year.

This annual output figure is only 556 thousand tons higher than the annual target output.

< p > Vera Vaz Da believes that in the second half of 2013, domestic polyester fiber consumption can achieve this year's goal.

This year, domestic demand for polyester fiber is still 6.6 kg per person, up from 6.3 kg last year.

< p > rising fuel prices and rising wages can inhibit the purchasing power of domestic "a target=" _blank "href=" //m.pmae.cn/ > textile < /a > products.

However, the government can reduce the impact of record fuel price increase, protect the textile and textile products industry and avoid the invasion of Chinese products.
