In the Tiruppur market, cotton yarn prices remained stable after rising earlier this week. Following the sharp increase, fabric producers remain uncertain about demand at higher production costs. A trader from the Tiruppur market told Fibre*Fashion, “Knitting yarn is facing weak demand due to its relatively limited applications compared to weaving yarn. Labour shortages have further added pressure, as workers mainly from North India and eastern states, return to their native places each year for farming activities. The West Bengal elections have also contributed to this trend. As a result, weaving and knitting units, along with garment manufacturers, have had to adjust their production schedules based on labour availability.”
