Textile firms from India and Pakistan actively participated in the Tenth China International Textile Yarn (Spring & Summer) Exhibition that concluded recently.

Hundreds of Indian and Pakistani cotton yarn companies participated in the exhibition and accounted for about 90 percent of the entire overseas pavilions.

These companies showcased various specifications of cotton yarn as well as information processing technology to Chinese buyers.

One of the reasons for high demand for Indian and Pakistani cotton yarn in the Chinese market is that their prices are lower than prices of domestic cotton yarn, which prompts Chinese textile mills to import cotton yarn from other countries.

According to industry analysts, the popularity of Indian and Pakistani cotton yarn is due to their ability to supply low-grade cotton yarn. Over the last three decades, Chinese textile industry has developed at a fast pace and some of the textile mills have phased out backward production capacity, and Indian and Pakistani firms make up for the shortfall.

As per relevant data, however, Pakistan continues to be the largest cotton yarn supplier to China, ahead of India.
