For instance, polyester is the most widely used man-made fiber, and little Taiwan produces no less than 17 % of the total worldwide supply, making it the largest supplier. The island's total production of man-made fibers ranks third globally, behind the USA and mainland China.
以目前應用最廣的聚酯纖維來說，小小台灣，竟供應了全球百分之十七的產量，位居第一；各種化學纖維總計起來，台灣也是僅次於美國和大陸的第三大生產國。
