Demand for polyester-cotton blends leads to rise in Indian viscose yarn prices

Indian viscose yarn prices are on the rise, due to steady demand in the polyester-cotton (PC) yarn market. Experts attribute this trend to robust orders from textile mills producing blended fabrics for both domestic and international markets.

In recent weeks viscose yarn manufacturers have seen order improvement, driven by the growing demand for mixed-fiber yarns used in garments and home textiles. This stability in the PC yarn segment has provided a much-needed boost to viscose yarn prices, which previously faced fluctuations due to raw material cost volatility.

The surge comes despite rising input costs for other fibers like cotton and polyester, highlighting the resilience of viscose yarn. Market experts suggest that the sustained demand for blended fabrics could keep prices firm in the short to medium term.

Additionally, the growing preference for sustainable and eco-friendly fabric options is further supporting viscose yarn's market appeal. As a more sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers like polyester, viscose is gaining traction among environmentally conscious consumers and manufacturers alike. If the demand trajectory holds, Indian viscose yarn prices are expected to remain strong, reinforcing their position as a key player in the blended fabric segment.
