Cotton remains the most widely used natural fibre in the textile industry, with leading fashion houses and retailers increasingly adopting organic cotton. This shift is driving demand for sustainable yarns and fibres. Yarn Expo Spring, set for 11–13 March 2025, will provide a key platform for the cotton sub-sector, featuring nearly 90 dedicated exhibitors among over 500 participants from 12 countries and regions.
Rising demand for sustainable sotton
Sustainable cotton yarn is gaining traction, particularly recycled cotton, which aligns with the circular fashion movement and appeals to eco-conscious consumers. Manufacturers are capitalizing on this trend, with the global organic cotton market projected to grow at a CAGR of 44.4 per cent until 2030. India, the world’s second-largest spinner after China, holds a 31.2 per cent share of the global cotton yarn market and will play a prominent role at the expo. Exhibitors from China, India, Pakistan, and other major markets will present a diverse range of cotton products to meet rising global demand.
India Pavilion showcases premium cotton yarns
The India Pavilion, led by the Cotton Textile Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL), will highlight Indian expertise across various yarn and fibre categories. Offerings will include pure cotton carding, compact spinning, viscose, blended, synthetic, recycled, organic/GOTS-certified, spandex, and polyester-cotton blends. Key exhibitors include Amar International, a major exporter of Indian cotton yarns, raw cotton, and recycled cotton waste, with its ‘Amar’ products earning industry recognition. GDJD International Pvt Limited specializes in high-quality yarns meeting the 'Uster 5 per cent' standard, focusing on contamination control. Le Merite Fashions Private Limited integrates cotton yarn and greige fabrics, offering Oeko-Tex Standard 100-certified eco-friendly products.
Speaking at a previous edition, Murali Balkrishna, Joint Director of Texprocil, emphasized the expo’s role in boosting Indian suppliers global presence. He noted that India's competitive advantage in quality and pricing has attracted many buyers, especially for twisted cotton yarn. The vast Chinese market continues to drive participation, reinforcing Yarn Expo Spring as a critical business platform.
