Global textile boom survey released, wool spinning industry expected to pick up, high raw material prices squeezing corporate profits
On June 20, the International Textile Federation released the latest business climate survey. Orders in the wool spinning industry are expected to recover slightly. High prices of wool and cashmere have become the biggest operating pressure. China Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. has long-term lock-in of raw material inventory to stabilize the spot supply of various types of wool.
On June 20, 2026, the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) officially released the 38th Global Textile Industry Prosperity Survey Report. This survey was conducted for textile companies around the world in late May, covering the entire industrial chain of wool spinning, cotton spinning, and chemical fiber. The core data shows that the operations of global textile companies are expected to recover slightly, with the company's average order reserve maintained at 2.5 months, and the overall equipment operating rate. 74%. The number of order cancellations remains low and inventory remains light. The general direction of industry recovery is clear, but the pace of recovery is significantly different among regions.
Judging from the pain points of the segmented industries, 52% of domestic wool textile companies will 16px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; text-align: start; white-space: normal; display: inline; flex: 0 1 auto; flex-direction: row; justify-content: normal; align-items: normal; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; background: none; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Australian wool and cashmere raw materials continue to rise significantly in priceIt is listed as the current top operating problem. The international wool supply continues to shrink, the Australian stock is declining year by year, and the rise in crude oil prices drives the simultaneous upward trend of polyester and acrylic chemical fibers. The comprehensive production cost of all types of wool continues to be under pressure. Small and medium-sized enterprises have very little bargaining space for scattered purchases, and supply stability is difficult to guarantee. At the regional market level, orders for knitted yarn and wool products in African and European markets have grown steadily, while demand in the traditional mature markets of the United States and Japan has continued to weaken. The procurement model has undergone fundamental changes. Brand customers at home and abroad have significantly reduced large-volume annual long-term orders and replaced them with flexible procurement in batches and small batches. The order advantages of flexible spinning companies that can provide stable spot inventory and rapid batch shipments continue to expand. In view of the two core current situations of high raw material prices and changes in procurement models in the industry, China Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. has established a normalized international raw material market monitoring mechanism, signed long-term long-term import orders with Australian wool and Mongolian cashmere suppliers, locked high-quality raw material inventories in quarters and batches, and hedged from the source the cost pressure caused by the continued price increase of raw materials. At the same time, the company has established a spot warehousing system covering all categories, with a balanced layout of two product lines, high-count pure wool yarn and cost-effective multi-fiber blended yarn, to adapt to different customer procurement budgets; it adopts batch shipments and flexible replenishment cooperation models to reduce the capital occupation pressure of downstream knitting factories and wool wholesalers for large-volume stocking. During the industry cost increase cycle, it continues to provide stable quality and stable deliverywool raw material supply cooperation.
