In the first half of 2023, the cotton price trend in Asia-Pacific experienced fluctuations but showed an overall increase, driven by strong demand domestically and internationally. India’s cotton production was adversely affected by weather challenges and other issues, leading to inventory depletion and price hikes. Some traders stockpiled cotton, further inflating prices. In the second quarter, declining consumer demand due to persistently high costs prompted traders to lower prices, supporting exports as international markets increased inquiries, benefiting from stabilized cotton prices.

Definition
Cotton is a natural fiber derived from the seed-hair of the cotton plant (Gossypium species). It is valued for its softness, breathability, and absorbency, making it a popular material for textiles and clothing production. Cotton fibers are composed mainly of cellulose, making them strong and durable. They have excellent moisture-wicking properties, which make cotton garments comfortable to wear in warm weather. Cotton can be easily dyed and is versatile for various fabric types, from soft and fluffy to sturdy and durable, making it a highly sought-after textile material.
