April 5, GlobalWool The latest price updates for core raw materials in the wool spinning industry have been officially released. As key raw materials for wool production, the prices of wool and cotton continue to maintain an upward trend, posing certain challenges to the cost control and production operations of wool spinning companies. Among them, the current price of Australian wool (Merino) has reached 1,783 Australian cents/kg, a year-on-year increase of 43.6%. Since the resumption of Australian wool auctions in August 2025, the cumulative increase has reached 52.2%, setting a new high in recent years; Domestic cotton prices have risen simultaneously, with the current price at 15,415 yuan/ton, a year-on-year increase of 17.1%. Many industry organizations predict that 2026 may be the first year of global cotton production reduction, and upward pressure on raw material prices will continue to exist.
It is reported that there are two main core reasons for the continued rise in Australian wool prices: First, the contraction of the supply side, affected by abnormal local climate in Australia, grassland degradation and other factors Affected by factors, Australian wool production has decreased by 20% compared with last year, and the supply of high-quality Merino wool is tight; secondly, the demand side is growing. As the global outdoor sports and high-end knitted apparel markets continue to heat up, the demand for high-quality wool raw materials has increased significantly, and the imbalance between supply and demand directly drives up the price of Australian wool. The rise in domestic cotton prices is mainly affected by factors such as reduced planting area and fluctuations in the global supply chain, which has further intensified the raw material cost pressure on wool spinning companies. In the context of continued rise in raw material prices, how to stabilize the supply of raw materials, ensure product quality, and reasonably control costs has become a common issue faced by wool spinning companies.
