Research and markets has announced the addition of the "China Cotton Yarn Industry Outlook for 2009-2012" report to their offering.

The income and source of income of almost 100 million cotton farmers related closely to the up-stream of the cotton textile industry. Industries related to textiles offer over 20 million jobs for domestic citizens, and the cotton-related industry chain plays an important role in the national economy.

As cotton textiles is the up-stream sector of the textile industry chain, its technological development determines the quality and added value of garments and finished goods. Cotton fibre processing accounts for over 50% of the total fibre processing volume in China, being the biggest sub-industry of textile industry.

Even in 2009, a gloomy year with the financial crisis, total output value of cotton textile industry still broke through 1 trillion yuan, increasing by 7.9%. With an average growth rate of over 20% in the past 10 years, the cotton textile industry is expected to develop at 15-20% in the coming few years.

As the global economy recovers, China's textile industry is also coming back to life. The first 4 months in 2010 have seen a tremendous increase in sales value, export value and demand for cotton yarn. The short supply of raw materials, therefore, led to a spike in cotton yarn prices, which has surpassed the peak before the 2008 financial crisis broke out. Demand for cotton yarn in China is likely to rise quickly in the coming 2 years to top a scale of 23.7 25.6 million tons in 2012, 5 million tons more than 18.67 million tons in 2009.

In terms of raw materials supply of the cotton yarn industry, China's cotton output might reach only 7.8 million tons in 2010/11, a subtle recovery from 7.6 million tons of 2009/10, due to the volatile cotton price, unfavorable cotton-grain price ratio to encourage peasants and natural disasters. If the profits of cotton cultivation compared to other crops cannot be enhanced fundamentally in the coming 2 years, cotton output will solely remain at around 8 million tons, even though the price is high. China's cotton consumption, topping 10 million tons, will depend largely on import. It is forecast that China's cotton import volume will remain at about 3 million tons a year. Imported cotton yarn is likely to hit about 1.5 million tons.

The spinning industry in China will develop toward clusterization. Industry clusters established in Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong are of distinct characteristics and will show great advantages in the future competition. Backward capacity will be knocked out, which will bring strategic opportunities to large-sized enterprises to expand market space and to strengthen themselves. Differentiated and featured products will be the focus of investment within textile industry in the future.
