Insights

  • Cotton yarn demand in north India remained weak in July despite stable prices and stronger uptake of polyester and viscose yarns.
  • Tariff-related uncertainty and high prices discouraged downstream consumption, while exports provided limited support.
  • Markets in Ludhiana, Delhi, and Panipat witnessed poor domestic demand, especially for recycled yarn.
  • Cotton prices also declined.

The Ludhiana market witnessed poor demand for cotton yarn, although prices did not show a downward trend. A trader from Ludhiana told Fibre2Fashion, “Both domestic and export demand for cotton yarn remained weak. However, export demand allowed mills to hold prices at current levels. Garment export orders are still insufficient to drive demand for fabric and yarn.”
