According
to the International Trade Forum, "Formerly a luxury trade, the
silk industry is at a crossroads. New sandwashed silk brought a
wider range of affordable silk products within the reach of
millions of consumers during the 1990s. Competition from
high-tech synthetics has eaten away market share. Raw silk
prices have plummeted by half, to the point that they threaten
the sustainability of this industry."
