So, production activities will pick up next week in Tiruppur, Coimbatore and other textile hubs,” a Tiruppur-based trader told Fibre2Fashion. “Cotton yarn price rise is inevitable when buyers come back to the markets. They have to buy yarn at any cost as they have to fulfil summer clothing demand.”
A trader from Ahmedabad, Narayan Lakhotia told Fibre2Fashion that cotton yarn prices remained steady as demand was very weak. “But the scenario will change at the end of this month. Fabric manufacturers will have to buy yarn at higher prices to meet demand from downstream industry. Demand for summer clothing will be good, so the prices are expected to rise for the entire value chain of textile industry.”
