Recently, prices of various types of pure cotton fabrics in the traditional market of China Light Textile City have shown a stable yet slightly weakening trend, with trading volumes remaining somewhat sluggish in certain areas. Some specific fabric varieties continue to see relatively light transactions, though localized sales have nonetheless picked up amid the overall seasonal lull. In the recent market, prices for pure cotton grey fabrics have stabilized in some regions while declining gradually in others. Meanwhile, the availability of spot supplies of pure cotton grey fabrics across the market remains limited, with significant drops in local spot offerings over recent days, leading to consistently subdued trading activity. Meanwhile, conventional finished dyed pure cotton fabrics for apparel have continued to experience insufficient daily sales, with prices holding steady while slipping slightly in isolated areas. Nevertheless, despite the generally slow pace, there have been occasional instances of brisk demand in certain segments—particularly among manufacturers purchasing bulk orders of pure cotton calico and calendered yarn silk for apparel production.

  Recently, prices for pure cotton grey fabrics have stabilized in some areas, while in others they’ve edged slightly downward amid overall market conditions.

As a result, trading activity has remained relatively subdued over recent days.

  Recently, the market has seen insufficient daily transactions of conventional finished dyed pure cotton fabric for apparel, with prices remaining stable while experiencing localized declines in certain segments. However, amidst the generally sluggish demand, some areas are showing signs of moderate activity: a few apparel manufacturers' buyers have occasionally placed bulk follow-up orders for pure cotton calico and satin fabrics, while others have rushed to finalize urgent batch deals. Notably, thicker versions of 20S×16S, 128×60 specifications—specifically the 150CM-wide calico products—and 21S/2×10S, 72×40 specifications—such as the 150CM-wide satin fabrics—are still receiving relatively large-scale orders from select retailers, with occasional substantial shipments being dispatched. Meanwhile, smaller-scale retailers continue to place bulk follow-up orders for 16S×12S, 108×56 calico fabrics and 20S×20S, 100×55 satin fabrics. Overall, however, spot sales and bulk ordering of pure cotton workwear and apparel fabrics across the market remain somewhat limited in certain areas.

  Currently, on the market, pure cotton greige fabric prices have remained relatively stable, though some localized areas have seen prices decline slightly amid overall stability due to their previously high levels. Meanwhile, finished rolled-dyed pure cotton fabrics have also shown mixed trends—prices are stable in certain regions, while others continue to soften despite the overall stability, driven by higher-than-average pricing in those areas. Downstream buyers remain largely cautious, with some even growing more hesitant, resulting in pure cotton fabrics being traded primarily in small, frequent batches over recent days.
