The International Textile Machinery Market Was Depressed Again In 2009.

In 2009, the international textile and yarn machinery market was once again in a doldrums. Shipments of short fiber spindles, long staple cotton spindles, open rotors and single heater false twisting machines decreased. In addition, all the declines were two digit figures, of which three products fell for two consecutive years in second consecutive years.

In terms of spinning machinery, Staple spindle Shipments decreased by 17%, compared with 33% in 2008 and 26% in the open rotors, and 66% in 2008. Meanwhile, Long pile Shipments of cotton spindles dropped by 78%, while 3.4% in 2008. In addition to the projectile machinery, the single heater dummy ingot shipment volume decreased by 45%. The volume of shipments decreased by two in third years, 20% in 2008 and 37% in 2007. As a result, shipments fell to the lowest level since 1994.

From the perspective of regional subdivision, industrial procurement in several countries dropped sharply in 2009. For example, in India, the number of short staple spindles decreased by 46%, the number of open rotors decreased by 28%, and that of double heater shears was reduced by 7.8%. At the same time, India industry reduced the purchase quantity of long staple cotton spindles, and in 2008 India was the third largest buyer of such machines.

In China, the number of long staple cotton spindles, open rotors and single heater dummy ingots has been reduced.

Elsewhere, the number of purchases increased in some industries in 2009. For example, industries in Belarus and Iran increased procurement of staple spindles, open rotors and double heater false twist spinning spindles.
