The graph below shows the global demand for different textile fibres between 1980 and 2015. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant

The line chart provides a visual representation of the global textile

demand

from 1980 to 2015. In general, the

demand

for

polyester

, cotton, and cellulosic textiles experienced an upward trend during

this

period,

while

wool witnessed a decline. Notably,

polyester

exhibited the most substantial growth. At the outset in 1980, cotton was the most sought-after fabric with a

demand

exceeding 10

million

tonnes

. Its popularity steadily increased, reaching nearly 20

million

tonnes

by 2000. The upward trajectory continued, peaking in 2005 at over 28

million

tonnes

.

Similarly

,

polyester

demand

exhibited continuous growth from approximately 5

million

tonnes

in 1980 to nearly 20

million

tonnes

in 2015. A notable surge in

polyester

demand

occurred post-1995, reaching its pinnacle in 2015 at nearly 50

million

tonnes

.

In contrast

, both cellulose and wool had comparable demands of around 5

million

tonnes

in 1980, but their trajectories diverged over the years. Cellulose

demand

saw a gradual increase from 1980 to 2000, followed by a plateau.

On the other hand

, wool

demand

experienced fluctuations, peaking after 2005 and

subsequently

declining to minimal levels by 2015.
