South Indian cotton yarn prices steady, demand pickup seen ahead

Cotton yarn prices in the Tiruppur market largely stayed at earlier levels, although the market saw slightly higher demand from downstream industries. A trader from Tiruppur told Fibre*Fashion, “Spinning mills are trying to increase cotton yarn prices, but the hike could not be absorbed by the market due to slow demand. However, cotton yarn demand may improve in the second week of next year. Typically, demand picks up ahead of the Pongal and Onam festivals as the weaving industry ramps up fabric production for the next summer season.”
