North Indian cotton yarn steady amid rising demand concerns

Ludhiana did not witness major fluctuations in cotton yarn prices, but demand has slowed further. A Ludhiana-based trader told Fibre*Fashion, “Spinning mills are confident about stable demand and are trying to hold cotton yarn prices. However, there are concerns about rising polyester yarn supplies at lower prices. Various polyester yarn varieties offer a cotton-like feel, and due to their economic viability, they can replace cotton yarn in the domestic market in the coming months.”
