Our statistical reports display a comprehensive view of the market prices every week, month, or quarter, depending on the products. Market analysis offers prospects for future price trends.
US Apparel Import Tariffs Shock
President Trump has announced new “reciprocal tariffs” that hit Asian apparel suppliers particularly hard, with total duties on apparel now reaching an average of 84% for China, 61% for Vietnam, and similarly high levels for others. We have compiled detailed tables listing the new tariff rates by apparel-exporting country. The De Minimis rule may also be withdrawn as early as May, adding further pressure. These measures are expected to have dramatic consequences for the global apparel industry.
Cotton & Polyester Price Comparison (Monthly)
The average monthly data for March 2025 confirms a steady decline in cotton prices and a more gradual drop in polyester prices, with the narrowing cost gap between the two fibers signaling a shift toward greater substitution in key Asian markets. Our monthly report offers a detailed comparison of average cotton and PSF prices in China, India, and Pakistan, providing insights into both current and historical trends in the price disparity between cotton and polyester. It includes historical data covering the last 15 years, available for download.
Spandex Chain Prices in China (Monthly)
China’s elastane market showed a modest price rebound in March, driven by easing raw material costs, but long-term challenges from weak demand and historical price erosion continue to weigh on the sector’s recovery.

We offer access to daily data from the preceding 12 months and monthly average prices over a decade, all available for download.
