Textile production refers to the process of manufacturing fabrics and products derived from natural fibers (such as cotton, wool, silk, linen) or synthetic fibers (such as polyester, nylon, acrylic). This process involves several steps, from obtaining raw materials to producing fabrics and making finished products. Such as, for example, clothes, curtains, sheets, among others. According to an article by UNICAMP, textile production can be divided into: Spinning: production of threads or filaments that will be prepared for the weaving stage; Weaving: manufacture of flat fabrics or knitted fabrics (knitwear) and non-woven technology; Finishing/improvement: operations that give the product comfort, durability and specific properties; Manufacturing: drawing, making molds, grating, fitting, cutting and sewing. The final product of each phase of the textile process becomes the raw material for the subsequent stage, highlighting the diverse nature of the textile chain. After all, the textile industry in Brazil is one of the few developing countries that have all stages of textile production well developed. However, they can be fragmented into different industries, which makes this process even more complex. Each sector is made up of a variety of distinct segments, with their own dynamics, structures and specific players.
