Insights

Cotton yarn prices in north India remain steady due to a lack of higher demand from the downstream industry and the blending of other fibres to replace costlier cotton.
Panipat's recycled yarn market faced a shortage of recycled polyester fibre and cotton comber.
In Ludhiana, demand was sluggish, while in Delhi, demand from the weaving industry was limited.

The Ludhiana market observed sluggish demand, yet cotton yarn prices remained steady due to a recent increase in fibre prices. A trader from the Ludhiana market told Fibre2Fashion, “Demand from the downstream industry was weak, with the consumer industry replacing costlier cotton with more affordable options wherever possible. Changes in consumption patterns also negatively impacted cotton yarn demand. Export demand was weak not just in India, but globally as well.”
