Insights

  • South India's cotton yarn market remains steady despite dampened demand.
  • In Mumbai, the Diwali-linked power loom closure led to weakened demand and halted production.
  • Millers and stockists are not reducing prices, expecting a post-Diwali uptick.
  • Prices across varieties stay unchanged, with discounts offered selectively.
  • Prices are stable in Tiruppur.

A Mumbai trader informed Fibre2Fashion, "The demand for fabric was low, so the weaving industry is grappling with inventory and financial challenges. This has further reduced the demand for cotton yarn. However, mills and stockists have refrained from lowering prices. Nonetheless, trades may still occur at a discount on a case-by-case basis."
