ITMF (International Textile Manufacturers Federation (www.itmf.org)) has published the International Textile Industry Statistics (ITIS) on productive capacity and raw material consumption in the short-staple organized (spinning mill-) sector in virtually all textile-producing countries in the world.

The number of installed open-end rotors slightly decreased from 7.4 million in 2019 to 7.2 million in 2020 (see Fig. 2). The decreasing trends observed in both segments in previous years (mainly due to scrapping of outdated machinery in China) seem to have come to an end. The tendencies observed in other regions are stable.

The number of installed air-jet spindles increased in 2020 in all regions except in Europe, East and Europe, West.
