India's polyester & viscose yarn prices fall on subdued demand

The Ludhiana market observed a mixed trend across different yarn varieties. PC yarn rose by &#****;* per kg as the increase in cotton prices pushed up production costs. Festival demand also contributed to the rise in PC yarn prices. In contrast, polyester yarn and recycled polyester fibre were traded lower, as last week’s price cut in virgin polyester fibre continued to impact market dynamics. A trader from the Ludhiana market told Fibre2Fashion, “Overall demand remained better as the upcoming festival season encouraged buying across the textile value chain. However, payment constraints are limiting buyers&#**; purchasing capacity.”
