Insights

  • Cotton yarn prices have stabilised across south India, Mumbai, and Tiruppur due to weak demand, especially from the weaving sector.
  • Mills are cautious in their buying habits, facing margin pressures from rising cotton costs.
  • In Gujarat, cotton prices steadied after earlier volatility.
  • Market analysts see little chance of a rebound until demand rises.

In Mumbai, cotton yarn demand is waning, though prices for most counts and varieties have remained stable. Mills have attempted to raise yarn prices, but weaker demand has prevented any such increase. A Maharashtra-based trader speaking to Fibre2Fashion said, "The likelihood of a boost from festival demand is slim. While some demand may emerge in the run-up to upcoming festivals, large stockpiles will prevent prices from rising. Additionally, subdued export demand means the market is unlikely to find support until this aspect improves."
