Insights

  • Polyester-cotton (PC) yarn prices in India have fallen due to weak demand, particularly in the Ludhiana market.
  • Conversely, polyester spun yarn prices increased due to rising raw material costs, influenced by RIL's recent price hike.
  • Mixed trends were observed in the yarn market, with various yarn prices remaining stable despite the softening demand.

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) increased the prices of polyester fibre raw materials, which in turn supported the price of recycled polyester fibre. This indicates the international market&#**;s support for the upstream value chain of polyester. RIL takes international market trends into account when setting the prices of its raw materials. 

The Ludhiana market has displayed a mixed trend in this segment. While PC yarn prices dropped by &#****;*-* per kg, prices for polyester spun yarn showed an upward trend over the last week. For instance, the price of ** count polyester spun yarn increased by &#****;*-* per kg. A trader from Ludhiana market told Fibre2Fashion, “The demand for PC yarn didn&#**;t improve, leading mills to struggle with clearing their stock. This has resulted in lower prices in the Ludhiana market.”
