NL112/6: Weak demand remains the dominant and persistent challenge for the global textile industry, outweighing all other risks. Geopolitical tensions and tariffs are rising concerns, while cost-related pressures such as energy, raw materials, and logistics are gradually easing. Slower global economic growth – particularly in China – alongside weaker consumer spending in key markets and the expansion of second-hand apparel have fundamentally altered demand dynamics.

NL112/5: Global textile capacity utilization remains at low levels, reflecting prolonged weak demand and limited order intake. Asia continues to lead in utilization, followed by the Americas and Europe. Segment-wise, yarn producers maintain the strongest utilization, whereas machinery and chemical producers face the weakest conditions.

06/10/2025

ITMF NL112/4: Global order backlogs eased to 2.1 months in Sept 2025 after four months of decline. Europe remains highest due to machinery manufacturers; Asia is mixed; the Americas are weakening. By segment, machinery still leads but is sliding, technical textiles are improving, garments/knitters-weavers are recovering, and fibers, spinners, and chemicals remain low.

01/10/2025

NL112/1: The latest GTIS shows a weak business situation, continuing to deteriorate since January. Ongoing uncertainty around U.S. tariffs — despite partial scaling back — combined with inflation, geopolitical tensions, China’s soft consumption, and a fast-growing second-hand market is suppressing demand. Performance diverges sharply: Africa and South America are neutral; brands/retailers are the outlier on the upside.

NL110/8: The global textile inventory index fell to -9 in July 2025, breaking with the former positive trend recorded since November 2024. Regionally, South America led with a positive inventory of 25, followed by East Asia at 20, where inventories are above average. In the textile value chain, producers of fabrics and finished fabrics reported the lowest inventory levels.
