In 1980 North American and European facilities produced 34 percent and 28 percent of all synthetic fibers, respectively; however, by 2000, Asia dominated fiber production, holding 61 percent of the market, whereas the North American market share fell to 18 percent. Europe's production fell to 15 percent of the world supply.
