Silk Yarn Market Trends

Italy is Emerging as Major Producer of Silk Yarn in Europe

Italy is one of the major producers of silk yarn in the European region, as hundreds of farms have started rearing silkworms in the past few years. Silk production using silk worms grown in Italy has been on the rise in recent years. Comapnies such as ONGETTA SRL is specialized in the silk throwsting and produces GOTS certified organic silk that is branded ONGETTA BIO SILK. It was the first spinning and twisting mill of GOTS certified silk yarns in Europe.

The decrease in exports of silk yarn from China is likely to give more access to the Italian silk yarn producers to the global market. Further, the price of Chinese silk has been climbing, far surpassing the price of silk threads produced in Italy from Italian-grown silkworms. This would further boost domestically produced silk yarn.

However, the production and export of silk yarn from Italy are minuscule when compared to Chinese production and export of silk yarn. In 2021, Italy exported silk yarn which valued at USD 18,214 thousand worldwide, which have increased by 8% as compared to 2020 and the major destinations were France, Romania, United Kingdom, Austria, and Germany.

After China and India, Uzbekistan is the world's third largest producer of silk.

India has implemented a scheme called Silk Samagra through its Central Silk Board (CSB) to enhance the quality and productivity of domestic silk to reduce the country's import of raw silk. In order to promote tussar silk cultivation in Odisha, the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) in has recently established the State's first silk yarn production centre at Choudwar in the district .The industrialisation of the silk industry coupled with various government schemes will boost the production of raw silk in the Asia-pacific region which in turn increase the production of silk yarn making the region to be the largest market during the forecast period.
