Yarn Price Reports: International Market
Our weekly reports provide a comparison of cotton yarn exports prices in India and Pakistan, and cotton yarn import prices in China.
ApparelEU Clothing Imports: Origin Comparison in 2nd Quarter 2026
The overall figures hide sharp differences between categories and origins. Extra-EU volumes fell 4.3% in knit clothing and rose 0.3% in woven clothing. China gained in almost every category. Most other suppliers lost ground in the large categories. Unit values moved in very different directions from one origin to another.
ConventionalPakistan Fiber and Yarn Prices (Monthly)
Cotton yarn prices rose sharply in Pakistan over the past four weeks. Cotton and polyester fiber became more expensive, and spinners passed these costs on to their buyers. Demand made this possible. Yarn exports rose, Chinese buyers booked ahead and yarn imports kept falling. As a result, prices are expected to stay firm in the near term.
ApparelUS Apparel Imports From Central America (Quarterly)
US apparel imports from Central America fell again in the second quarter of 2026. The decline was sharper than for total US imports. All six CAFTA-DR countries shipped lower volumes, but the results differ widely. Nicaragua lost nearly a third of its volumes and Honduras more than 10 percent. Guatemala and El Salvador limited their losses and increased the value of their sales. The Dominican Republic and Haiti declined in both volume and value.
ConventionalBangladesh Yarn Market Prices (Monthly)
Yarn prices in Bangladesh jumped in September. Gas and power shortages cut spinning output and spinners raised their offers. Prices then stopped rising in the last two weeks as gas supply improved. The government has also reopened the door to yarn imports after a short-lived attempt to restrict them. With cotton import costs now falling, the market has little room for further gains.
