Yarn Expo Autumn 2023 to shine spotlight on growing global cotton yarn market

In order to meet the dual challenges of sustainable industry development and economic recovery, every product along the textile supply chain needs to be produced with efficiency, performance, fashion, and sustainability in mind. As the intermediary between fibre and fabric, yarn is of course a key link. Further upstream, one of the textile industry’s most significant raw materials is cotton. Its influence is in evidence everywhere, from booths at international trade fairs, to the shirts worn by visitors from all over the world.
