The value chain of the U.S. textile industry comprises raw material suppliers, product manufacturers, distributors, marketers or sellers, and application industries. Raw materials offered by suppliers to manufacture textile products include cotton, chemicals, wool, silk, synthetic fibers, machinery, and others. BASF; Dow Inc.; SABIC; Exxon Mobil Corporation; and DSM are the major raw material suppliers in the textile market.
The availability of raw materials at cheap prices for textile producers is anticipated to be significantly influenced by the dropping crude oil prices as a result of rising crude oil inventory levels. However, it is anticipated that the supply of feedstock for textile manufacturers will be constrained by the rising demand for engineering polymer products as lightweight materials in rigid applications in the automotive, construction, and electronics sectors.
