The number of installed open-end rotors slightly increased from 7.9 million to 8.3 million. These positive trends contrast with the previous years; mainly because capacities are growing in Asia &amp; Oceania again, led by China. The tendencies observed in other regions are stable. The number of installed air-jet spindles increased in all regions in 2021.&nbsp;<br><br>The substitution between shuttle and shuttle-less looms continued in 2021. The number of installed shuttle-less looms increased from 1.62 million in 2020 to 1.72 million in 2021 while installed shuttle looms reached 927,000. Total raw material consumption in the short-staple organized sector is back to expected levels after the pandemic and increased from 41,4 million tons in 2020 to 45,6 million tons in 2021 (see Fig.).
