  • Cotton remains a vital cash crop in Asia-Pacific, holding significant economic importance as a major export commodity. The crop is cultivated throughout the region's tropical and subtropical areas, with China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Australia being the primary producers. These countries play a crucial role in maintaining both regional and global cotton supplies. According to FAOSTAT data from 2023, India and China collectively produced 47% of the world's seed cotton (unginned). This substantial market share stems from traditional farming practices and the extensive use of cotton in Asia's textile and apparel industries, where fiber is essential due to its versatility, comfort, and adaptability to regional climate conditions.
  • The region dominates textile product manufacturing and exports, providing employment opportunities for rural and unorganized workforce segments across multiple countries. The expanding textile sector in Southeast Asia, particularly in Vietnam, drives demand for cotton as a key raw material for garment production. Vietnam, the world's third-largest cotton importer, purchased 1.5 million tons in 2023, supported by a 14.5% year-over-year growth in textile and garment exports. This increase reflects the rising demand for cost-effective, quality textiles, reinforcing the region's position as a manufacturing center. Additionally, countries such as Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh are focusing on production and processing of cotton to increase its international market share driving the Asia-Pacific cotton market during the forecast period.
