Australian wool supply shrinks in 2026, prices are expected to rise, high-end wool yarn and cashmere yarn source manufacturers maintain stable supply
The most certain market trend in the wool spinning industry in 2026 is that the supply of imported high-quality Australian wool continues to shrink, and raw material prices are steadily rising, which directly drives domestic high-end wool yarn, cashmere thread finished product prices are rising steadily. According to the latest data from the Australian Wool Production Forecasting Agency, Australian wool production in 2025/26 is only 244,700 tons, a sharp decline of 12.6% year-on-year. The global supply of high-quality fine wool continues to be in short supply, setting a strong tone for the wool spinning market throughout the year.
Looking at the trend of the Australian crude market in the past two years, 2025 will be low and then high, with a sharp rise at the end of the year. Entering 2026, the imbalance between supply and demand will further intensify. On the one hand, Australian wool production continues to decline, and high-quality fine wool and ultra-fine wool supplies are scarce. On the other hand, global demand for high-end knitted apparel, light luxury home textiles, and functional textiles continues to recover. The demand for high-quality wool raw materials has steadily increased. The gap between supply and demand continues to expand. It has become an industry consensus that prices will rise in the long term.
For powerful source manufacturers, the raw material price increase cycle is a golden opportunity to highlight their advantages and lock in long-term customers. Enterprises that lock in prices and stock up in advance and have stable import + domestic raw material channels can effectively control the price of finished products and stabilize costs and supply for purchasing customers.
