South India cotton yarn stable despite seasonal demand for uniforms

In Mumbai, the cotton yarn market is steady, but demand from the downstream industry is not expected to rise until the end of this month. “The current muted trend of the market was expected, as it happens every year. However, there is some demand from the school uniform segment, which is showing changing dynamics in the market. The raw material for school uniforms changes quickly and there is a focus on lower cost, which limits the varieties of yarn used in the garment segment,” a trader from Mumbai told Fibre2Fashion.
