China's cotton yarn imports by structure and by origin in Oct 2024

In recent months, the main specifications of China's yarn imports have once again concentrated in coarse-count yarn. This is not only a feedback of market demand but also an active choice in pursuit of differentiated competition. In September 2024, the import share of carded single yarn below 8s in China suddenly rose to 24.8%. In October, the proportion of this specification was still as high as 23%, totaling about 25.8kt. As for carded single yarn 8-25s, the total import volume in October was about 60kt, and the import share continued to rise to 53.77%. The import volume of carded single yarn 25-47s shrank most significantly. The import volume of carded single yarn 25-30s was less than 1,000 tons, and the total import volume of the carded single yarn 30-47s in October was only 10kt.
