Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Global: Globally, the price of cotton decreased. A combination of factors led to this downward movement, including lower demand from key markets like China and economic slowdowns in emerging markets, reducing global cotton consumption. Additionally, fluctuating weather patterns impacted yields in major cotton-producing countries, such as India, the US, and Brazil. Rising freight and shipping costs, especially in regions like North America and South America, further added to the cost of cotton, making the product less competitive in global markets. The decrease in price was also attributed to the growing preference for synthetic fibers, as global textile industries began to diversify away from natural fibers. The price drop across all regions reflected the global balancing of supply and demand, with consumers opting for cheaper alternatives and traders anticipating a weaker global economy in the coming quarters.

Latest developments in the Cotton Industry:
- August 2025: The Government of India extended its import duty exemption on cotton until December 31, 2025, to support the domestic textile industry amid 50% US tariffs. Initially introduced by the Finance Ministry for the period from August 19 to September 30, 2025, the exemption aimed to enhance raw cotton availability and alleviate pressure on exporters. This extension reflected ongoing efforts to stabilize the sector and ensure smoother operations for textile manufacturers facing heightened trade challenges.
- June 2024: The Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA) announced its launch in Türkiye, marking a significant step in uniting players across the organic cotton value chain in this key production country. OCA will deliver its transformative program designed to support local organic cotton farmers and those interested in transitioning, thereby scaling the global supply of organic cotton. To highlight the launch, OCA is hosting a stakeholder event in Istanbul this week, bringing together key players to discuss the future of organic cotton in the country.
- April 2024: The Union textiles ministry planned to launch a revamped Cotton Technology Mission aimed at improving the quality and output of India's "white gold" by adopting best practices that could position India as a prime destination for textile sourcing and foreign investment.
Product Description
Cotton refers to a natural fiber obtained from the seeds of the cotton plant, belonging to the genus Gossypium. This fiber is one of the most extensively utilized fibers in the textile industry owing to its softness, breathability, and durability. The cotton plant thrives in warm climates and requires a long frost-free period, plenty of sunshine, and moderate rainfall. The fibers are harvested from the seed pods, or bolls, after the plant blooms. The cotton fibers are separated from the seeds through a process called ginning once harvested. They are then spun into yarn and woven or knitted to create fabric. Cotton is highly versatile and employed in a variety of products such as bed linens, clothing, industrial materials, and towels. Its natural properties make it hypoallergenic and comfortable, suitable for sensitive skin.
