In 2023, Pakistan led the global export of unbleached twill cotton weighing more than 200 g/m2, capturing a dominant market share with a 9.07% year-on-year growth. Thailand and China were significant contributors, both demonstrating positive growth, albeit at lower rates of 4.89% and 2.73%, respectively. In contrast, major European players like Germany and Belgium showed declining shares, with Germany experiencing a 2.86% reduction. Despite minor players like the United Kingdom and Macedonia showing growth, substantial decreases were observed in Indonesia (-23.51%) and South Korea (-26.62%).
Looking ahead, trends to monitor include the impact of economic and trade policies in key manufacturing hubs, shifts due to sustainability demands, and the evolving dynamics within ASEAN and South Asian textile industries. Nations showing growth should capitalize on increasing demand, while those with declining trends must innovate to regain market share. The performance of emerging markets will be critical to shaping the future of this sector.
