The recovery of lyocell and modal fibers across Asia has trailed behind a rapid surge in viscose, compressing the sustainable premium and squeezing mill margins as rising fiber costs outpace sluggish downstream yarn prices.
This monthly report tracks lyocell and modal fiber prices in China, India, and Pakistan, alongside lyocell and modal yarn prices in India and Pakistan. All benchmark indicators are published in local currency and US dollars to allow cross-market comparison. The lyocell-viscose spread is calculated to measure the sustainable fiber premium. Yarn-to-fiber spreads are included to assess spinning mill margin trends. Users can also download daily time series covering the past twelve months.
