India sees strong demand for viscose yarn, man-made yarn prices steady

In Ludhiana, demand for polyester-cotton and polyester spun yarn was weaker. Fabric manufacturers are hesitant to stock yarn due to uncertainty in demand from the garment industry. A trader from the Ludhiana market told Fibre2Fashion: "A shortage of funds is discouraging buying, as buyers are reluctant to clear outstanding payments before Diwali. Normally, payment conditions ease only after Diwali. The slow demand for garments is also a negative factor for the PC and polyester yarn markets."
