Cotton Market Analysis

The Cotton Market size is estimated at USD 45.15 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 51.58 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 2.7% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • Cotton, thriving in tropical and subtropical regions across the globe, plays a pivotal role in fueling global textile mills and apparel manufacturing. Competitive pricing of cotton fibers on the global stage, combined with surging export demand for cotton yarn and textile products, is set to bolster global cotton demand.
  • For instance, the Reserve Bank of India reported that in fiscal year 2022, exports of cotton and its products from India surpassed INR 1,140 billion (USD 13.94 billion). This marked a significant jump of nearly INR 586 billion (USD 5.1 billion) from the previous year's INR 726 billion (USD 8.8 billion). Additionally, enhanced crop yields in Brazil, Australia, and Pakistan are anticipated to drive up global cotton production and consumption during the forecast period.
  • Beyond textiles, cotton finds its way into garments, apparel, and even medical dressings. The rich natural fiber reserves in countries like China, India, and the United States are playing a crucial role in propelling the global textile market, thereby bolstering the cotton market. 
  • Moreover, global initiatives are also set to further energize this market. Notably, in 2022, Armor Seed introduced two advanced cotton varieties ARMOR 9512 B3XF and ARMOR 9442 XF. These varieties boast enhanced features like larger seeds, superior vigor, emergence, top-notch fiber quality, and the innovative XtendFlex Technology.
