Synthetic fibres were born out of the extensive research of scientists improving the natural plant and animal fibres. Created by forcing, through extrusion, synthetic fibres are created by fiber forming materials through holes called spinnerets into the air making a thread. Thus, manmade fibre textile industry (MMF) originated and today, its production has grown worldwide. The Indian MMF textile industry is endowed with strong linkages to GDP growth and consumer spending. The Demand drivers of the industry are the growing amount of disposable income of the consumers, changing fashion trends, and superior demographic factors.
