The global cotton industry continues to be a cornerstone of the textile sector, influencing international trade, agricultural policies, and socio-economic development worldwide. As sustainability and ethical sourcing gain prominence, stakeholders across the value chain are increasingly focused on innovative practices and technologies to enhance productivity while minimizing environmental impact.

 

Trends in the Global Cotton Economy: Recent years have witnessed significant trends in the global cotton economy, including fluctuations in prices, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and organic cotton, and advancements in farming practices. The industry faces challenges such as climate change impacts, labor rights issues, and market volatility, which necessitate collaborative efforts and strategic initiatives for long-term viability.

 

Indian Cotton Economy: India, as one of the largest producers and exporters of cotton, plays a pivotal role in shaping the global cotton market. The Indian cotton sector faces unique challenges and opportunities, including improving productivity through better seeds and agronomic practices, enhancing quality standards, and addressing socio-economic issues affecting cotton farmers. Understanding the dynamics of the Indian cotton economy is crucial for stakeholders navigating global trade and sustainable development challenges.

 

Cotton vs. Man-Made Fibers (MMF): The debate between natural fibers like cotton and man-made fibers (MMF) continues to evolve, influenced by factors such as cost, performance characteristics, environmental impact, and consumer preferences. Discussions at the conference will explore how these fibers coexist in the market and the implications for sustainability and market dynamics.

 

Consumer Behaviour: Consumer behaviour is increasingly shaping the textile and apparel industry, with growing awareness and demand for sustainable products influencing purchasing decisions. Understanding these trends is essential for businesses to align with consumer expectations and drive market growth.
