Insights

  • India's yarn market showed divergence, with PC yarn rising on higher cotton costs and expected summer demand support.
  • Polyester remains stable as crude oil correction eases PSF costs despite upstream volatility.
  • Viscose trends vary regionally, driven by import constraints in Mumbai and weak demand in Surat.
  • Overall sentiment remains cautious.

Polyester yarn prices remained stable, despite volatility in upstream inputs such as PTA, MEG, and crude oil. However, recent declines in crude oil have made PSF more affordable, supporting price stability.

Viscose yarn prices increased in the Mumbai market due to geopolitical disruptions, while Surat witnessed a comparatively bearish trend. A Ludhiana-based trader told Fibre*Fashion, “Sumer season’s demand may continue to support PC yarn. Buyers prefer PC yarn made garments due to affordability. Crude oil prices dropped after huge increase in the last week. Cheaper crude oil also made PSF more affordable.”
