Under this, polyester accounts for about 77.5% while viscose accounts for the remaining share. MMF is primarily used to produce 100% non-cotton fabrics and blended fabrics, which are in turn used in readymade garments, home textiles and other industrial textiles.
MMF production witnessed an increase of about 3.7% yo-y in FY19 after declining about 0.7% in FY18. The total MMF production as of 2019 stood at 2.6 billion kgs.
