Global Cotton Yarn Market to Reach $140.1 Billion by 2032, Fueled by Rising Textile Demand
January 2026 — The global cotton yarn market is poised for steady growth over the next decade, according to a recent report titled “Cotton Yarn Market by Type (Carded Yarn, Combed Yarn, Others), by Application (Apparel, Home Textiles, Industrial Textile, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023–2032.”
The report reveals that the cotton yarn market was valued at $91.4 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $140.1 billion by 2032, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2032.
Key Drivers of Growth
Demand for cotton yarn continues to be driven by the thriving apparel, home textile, and industrial textile sectors. Economic expansion in emerging markets, advancements in textile manufacturing technologies, and evolving sourcing strategies are further contributing to market growth.
However, the report cautions that raw cotton price volatility—influenced by weather patterns, crop yields, and global demand—could impact profit margins for manufacturers. Despite these challenges, emerging economies with rising disposable incomes and expanding populations present substantial growth opportunities. Manufacturers focusing on regional consumer preferences and trends are expected to gain a competitive edge.
Asia-Pacific Leads the Market
Regionally, Asia-Pacific dominated the global cotton yarn market in 2022, accounting for more than two-fifths of total revenue, and is expected to maintain its leadership through 2032. The region is also projected to record the highest CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period.
The strong growth trajectory in Asia-Pacific is attributed to its large population base, expanding middle class, and rising demand for textiles and apparel. The region’s well-established textile manufacturing infrastructure and cultural affinity for cotton-based products further reinforce its market dominance.
