The import volume of cotton linter at the beginning of the year was much lower than market expectations, but it gradually increased month by month and returned to normal levels. However, the concentration of the origins and destinations has significantly improved this year, forming a situation of "tripartite confrontation".

Starting from Feb this year, the import volume of cotton linter has been increasing month by month. In Jun, there was even a tendency for the volume to double compared to the previous month, reaching 12.964kt, a m-o-m increase of 95.5% and a y-o-y growth of 71.1%, reaching the peak level since Jun of last year.
