Global Manufacturing Hubs for Snooker & Billiard Cloths
The global production of premium Snooker & Billiard Cloths is concentrated in three key regions: China (72% market share), the UK (18%), and Belgium (10%). China's dominance stems from its vertically integrated textile ecosystem, offering cost-competitive wool-nylon blends at 30-40% lower than European counterparts.
