Sluggish cotton yarn demand persists in south Indian, prices steady

Insights

Cotton yarn demand remains sluggish in south India due to weak consumption in the loom sector and limited garment demand domestically and internationally.
Despite traders offering discounts, prices in Tiruppur and Mumbai stayed stable.
Mills plan to raise prices following higher cotton costs but lack sufficient demand support.
Cotton arrivals remain moderate.

The Mumbai market witnessed steadiness in cotton yarn prices after a slight easing earlier this week. Spinning mills are looking to raise yarn prices following the increase in cotton prices, but they are not receiving sufficient support. A trader from Mumbai told Fibre2Fashion, “Spinning mills are facing slow yarn demand from the downstream industry, despite rising cotton yarn prices. Cotton prices have increased after remaining steady for a couple of days. Cotton yarn consumption may not improve until the first week of next month when workers return to power looms and auto looms.”
