RESTRAINING FACTORS
High Cotton Prices Affect Market Growth
The main market restrainers are the price of cottonseed, the farming method, and raw materials. Cotton is typically more expensive than conventional alternatives because of the high economies required to grow cotton and the lack of technology for managing crop production. Additionally, there is a potential that an infection will lower cotton crop yields. The increased demand for clothing that exceeds availability is also posing problems for retailers and makers of clothing. The growing disparity between supply and demand further curbs consumer demand for goods.
SEGMENTATION
By Type
Based on type, the seed cotton market is segmented into upland cotton, tree cotton, extra-long staple cotton and levant cotton. The upland cotton category dominated the market in 2022. Upland cotton, often known as "ordinary" or "American Upland," is a short-staple cotton cultivar (Gossypium hirsutum) produced in warmer regions of the world. In contrast to G. barbadense, which has longer fibers and yields Sea Island Cotton, the term typically refers to the main staple fiber that grows around the seeds.
By Application
Based on application, the seed cotton market is segmented into cotton planting, cottonseed oil production and fertilizer. The cottonseed oil production category dominated the market in 2022. The increased cottonseed oil production could be attributed to the growing popularity of deep-frying and the high smoke point of cottonseed oil. Cottonseed oil production is anticipated to increase globally in the upcoming years as its use in food and other industries continues to rise. The popularity of cottonseed oil due to its neutral flavor, its affordability when compared to other organic oils, and its growing health benefits are some of the elements that will probably drive the expansion of the cottonseed oil production category.
