INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
Market conditions are challenging for the spinning mills across the entire globe. With excess capacityand lower demand, FY 2020 has been a difficult year. With thedecrease in yarn demand, the industry did not see any equivalent decrease incotton prices primarily due to the minimumsupport price (MSP) implemented bythe government owned Cotton Corporation of India (CCI).In addition, CottonCorporation of India’s purchase of cotton early in the picking season captured thehigh-quality yarnforcing the industry to pay higher than market to procure qualitycotton duringthe remainder ofthe year. Open-end (OE) yarn sales have been veryadverselyaffected during FY 2020 with theslowdown of demand from China havingbeenaffected by the US-China trade dispute. The industry expects strongheadwinds for near future.
