The cotton processing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $81.72 billion in 2024 to $87.42 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to global demand for textile products, agricultural practices and cotton cultivation, textile industry expansion, trade and export dynamics, economic and industrial development.
The cotton processing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $113.51 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to population growth and urbanization, shift in consumer preferences, innovations in textile technologies, focus on sustainability and eco-friendly practices, government policies and subsidies. Major trends in the forecast period include energy-efficient processing, market diversification, digitalization and data analytics, global market dynamics, worker welfare and safety.
The cotton processing market is anticipated to grow due to rising demand from the textile industry. This sector encompasses the production, import, and export of various clothing items and apparel. Cotton, known for its comfort, hypoallergenic properties, low maintenance, and natural sustainability, is widely used in textiles and apparel. For example, a report by the Waste and Resource Action Programme, a US-based NGO, revealed that the UK consumed 1.42 million tonnes of new textile products in 2022. Consequently, the heightened demand for cotton processing within the textile industry is fueling the growth of the cotton processing market.
The rising incidence of chronic diseases is projected to drive the growth of the cotton processing market in the future. Chronic diseases are defined as illnesses that persist for three months or longer and may worsen over time. Processed cotton is widely used in healthcare settings to manage these conditions, with various applications including wound care, medical clothing, hygiene products, patient bedding, and wearable medical devices. For instance, a report from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), a government agency in Australia, indicated that in 2022, approximately 81.4% of individuals had at least one long-term health condition, with 49.9% suffering from chronic diseases. The most prevalent chronic conditions were mental and behavioral disorders (26.1%), back issues (15.7%), and arthritis (14.5%). Thus, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is contributing to the expansion of the cotton processing market.
Technological advancements have become a prominent trend in the cotton processing market, with major companies actively developing innovative technologies to enhance their market positions. In December 2022, Fibre52, a US-based cotton processing company, introduced patent-pending technology known as Prepare For Dye (PFD) and dye technology. This environmentally friendly and affordable technology preserves the natural qualities of cotton, resulting in a more robust and eco-friendly fabric. The dyeing process using Fibre52's technology retains cotton's intrinsic properties and facilitates moisture transfer away from the skin.
Leading companies in the cotton processing market are innovating new methods, such as contamination-free yarn, to improve product quality and comply with rigorous industry standards. Contamination-free yarn is produced without impurities, foreign materials, or contaminants, ensuring a high level of quality and purity in textile production. For example, in June 2024, GIMATex Industries Pvt. Ltd, an Indian manufacturer of cotton yarn and grey fabric, introduced siro compact yarns and high-quality chief value cotton yarns (CVC yarns) that offer a contamination-free option. Siro Compact Yarns are specifically designed to fulfill the high demands of contemporary fabric manufacturing, providing notable benefits over traditional yarns. The compact spinning technology utilized in their production reduces imperfections and enhances the yarn's overall quality, resulting in smoother, stronger, and more durable fabrics.
In December 2024, the Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC), a merchant and processor of agricultural products based in the Netherlands, purchased Namoi Cotton Co-operative Limited for $160 million. This acquisition is intended to bolster LDC's standing in the cotton processing market by enhancing its supply chain capabilities, improving operational efficiencies, and expanding its cotton processing and marketing operations.
