India’s viscose, PC yarn prices steady, polyester yarn sees volatility

Viscose and polyester-cotton (PC) yarn prices in India remain stable across key textile hubs like Mumbai and Surat, reflecting steady market conditions. However, the polyester yarn market in Ludhiana is experiencing price fluctuations due to seasonal shifts in demand, affecting textile sector production dynamics.

Meanwhile, cotton prices in northern India have edged higher, influenced by firm trends in ICE cotton futures. This increase is driving up raw material costs for spinning mills, leading to adjustments in local yarn demand. The strengthening US dollar is also making Indian cotton more expensive for global buyers, adding pressure to export competitiveness.

Market trends remain mixed, with regional variations shaping price movements. Ludhiana’s polyester yarn sector is witnessing a downturn, while viscose and PC yarn markets maintain stability. The textile industry’s pricing patterns are expected to keep evolving as seasonal demand and global economic factors continue to influence the market.
