After declining consistently in recently years, cotton use and imports for the domestic spinning industry are hovering around 40,000 to 45,000 tons, annually. While many spinners have been forced out of production, others are expanding output and some entities are investing in new operations. As a result, on balance, cotton use is expected to increase through 2015/16. Separate from demand in the domestic spinning sector, in recent years Malaysia was a transshipment hub for cotton destined to nearby markets in the region. This trade has declined significantly.
