According to Statistics Center of CNTAC, from Jan. to Apr. 2007, the overall index of industrial production went up steadily. The indices are given separately for the five sectors, namely chemical fiber, yarn, cloth, nonwoven textiles and garment. It is to be noted that, due to incomplete data, indices for the period from Jan. through Apr. 2007 are provisional and published at sector level only. They are therefore subject to revision in future issues of the indicator.

From Jan. through Apr. 2007, chemical fiber production reached 7.349 million tons, up 17.24 percent from the corresponding period of 2006; Yarn production reached 5.781995 million tons, up 20.42 percent; Cloth production reached 14.48226 billion metres, up 11.54 percent; Nonwoven textiles production reached 0.182029 million tons, up 0.01 percent; And garment production reached 5.53727 billion pieces, up 14.46 percent.
