In late May 2026, the international wool market will usher in a round of price adjustments. The latest data shows that, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; line-height: 24px; flex: 0 1 auto; flex-direction: row; justify-content: normal; align-items: normal; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; background: none 0% 0% / auto repeat scroll padding-box border-box rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Australian wool prices fell back to 1,880 Australian cents/kg (about 90.96 yuan/kg), a month-on-month decrease of 1.40%; the US dollar quotation was approximately 1,336 cents/kg, a month-on-month decrease of 1.57%. The synchronized weakening of RMB pricing has brought phased cost benefits to domestic wool and wool textile companies.
As the core raw material of the global wool textile industry chain, Australian wool price fluctuations directly affect the costs of all categories from woolen spinning, worsted spinning to cashmere blends, knitting yarns, etc. From the end of 2025 to the first quarter of 2026, affected by Australia's weather, export policies and the rebound in international demand, Australian wool continued to run at a high level, and many wool spinning companies faced profit squeezes of "rising raw materials, but difficult to rise in finished products". This slight decline will help midstream and downstream companies alleviate cost pressures and optimize procurement rhythm.
China Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. is rooted in the textile industry cluster in Lixian County, Hebei Province. It has long been focused on the R&D and production of cashmere yarn, wool blended yarn, knitting yarn and other products, and remains highly sensitive to raw material price fluctuations. Relying on the local mature supply chain system and large-scale procurement advantages, the company actively optimizes its procurement strategy and reasonably locks in low raw material costs during this round of Australian wool price correction cycles, laying a solid foundation for stable product quotations and enhanced market competitiveness.
From the domestic market, woolen textile clusters such as Hebei, Shandong and Guangdong Dalang have clearly felt the loosening of raw materials. The quotations of cashmere yarn, wool blended yarn, knitting yarn and other products have stabilized, and some companies have begun to replenish their inventories appropriately to lock in low costs. For cashmere customization, woolen fabrics, high-end knitting and other segments, the decline in raw materials not only increases profit margins, but also creates favorable conditions for stocking up during the peak season in the second half of the year.
Industry consensus believes that this round of adjustments is a short-term fluctuation and not a trend reversal. Global wool inventories are still tight. Coupled with green consumption and increasing preference for natural fibers, wool raw materials will still have support in the medium and long term. Enterprises should seize the current window, optimize procurement strategies, rationally prepare stocks based on forward orders, and avoid chasing the rise and selling the fall.
Overall, the wool textile industry in 2026 is in a critical period for rebalancing costs and demand. The slight decline in Australian wool sends a positive signal, which is good for domestic woolen and wool spinning enterprises to stabilize production and enhance competitiveness. China Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. will continue to track international raw material price trends, strengthen the resilience of the supply chain, and give back to global customers with stable quality and reasonable prices.
