HOWELL, JR., Senior Market Analyst Copyright 1995 by National Cotton Council of America P.O. Box 12285 Memphis, TN 38182 FOREWORD Cotton Counts Its Customers contains annual estimates of the quantities of cotton and competing materials consumed in specified textile products manufactured in the United States. The product list is extensive, but not exhaustive -- a full accounting of fiber consumption is not implied (see Data Limitations later in this text.) Each annual edition provides end-use data for the most recent three years; special editions present revised data for a series of years along with supplementary information on conversion factors and typical cotton materials consumed. The most recent special edition, published in February 1973, contains data for the years 1965-1971. The 1995 edition contains revised 1992, revised 1993, and preliminary 1994 end-use consumption data. The report is presented in two sections: Section I summarizes end-use consumption of cotton and competing materials in 92 major product classifications; Section II is a detailed tabulation of statistical data for each end-use item within the major product classifications. Included in this section are: (a) domestic production of each item; (b) total woven fabrics, knitting yarns, and other textile materials consumed in each use; (c) cotton's percentage share of total materials; and (d) the quantity of gray and raw cotton consumed in each end use.
