Exporters can now engage more effectively with global online marketplaces if they maintain valid merchant or participation agreements, including payment settlement and dispute resolution terms. The facility will apply exclusively to small-value exports conducted on cost and freight terms.

Weak Middle East demand and a high base impacted apparel export, while cotton imports surged and textile imports remained subdued.

While lower energy costs improve margins for petrochemical producers, polyester and polypropylene prices remain largely sticky, delaying cost benefits for textile manufacturers. Buyers are therefore adopting cautious, short-term procurement strategies.

It highlights smart flexibility, stronger textile-apparel collaboration and lower inventory risk. The roadmap centres on defining shared goals, enabling innovation and standardising scalable industry practices.

July cotton settled at 73.43 cents per pound. Falling crude oil prices improved sentiment by easing concerns over textile production costs. Traders continued to monitor crop conditions, fund activity and geopolitical developments.

India’s pricing stayed steady amid predictable supply conditions, while China’s tight inventories and pre-sold output supported market stability despite weak downstream demand.

The EU posted a €7.1 billion (~$8.236 billion) deficit. January-April trade balances also weakened sharply across both regions.

Investments in renewable energy, net-zero facilities and climate-resilient infrastructure are accelerating, while heat stress mitigation and decarbonisation are emerging as critical priorities for long-term competitiveness.
