US eyes synthetic fibre boost in India as China's grip weakens

Insights

India's synthetic fibre imports are undergoing a strategic shift as it reduces dependence on China and strengthens ties with US.

India's QCO may favour US synthetic fibre exports, but tariffs' impact on textile trade means that advantages may still lie with ASEAN countries and South Korea.
