India Pavilion and international exhibitors to feature selection of cotton at Yarn Expo Autumn 2025

Cotton enjoys a widespread demand globally, attributable to its softness, versatility and several desirable traits. The natural fibre was among the top two sourcing interests at the previous Yarn Expo Spring and Autumn Editions, and is widely employed in the textile industry. From 2 to 4 September at Yarn Expo Autumn 2025, the Cotton Textile Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL) will bring back its India Pavilion, with a group of nearly 20 members, showcasing alongside other cotton exhibitors from Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Pakistan, and more.
