PIMA Cotton Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview
PIMA Cotton prices in the United States, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 1.7% in Q2 2026 to USD 2,380.00/MT from USD 2,340.00/MT in Q1, extending a modest recovery after a consistent decline recorded across most of 2025. American Pima cotton, marketed under the Supima trademark, had exhibited a consistent decreasing trend through 2025 as cooling demand for premium extra-long staple fibers weighed on the global luxury apparel segment, though prices firmed in the final months of the year. Globally, the average rose from USD 2,083.60/MT in Q1 to USD 2,119.00/MT in Q2, a 1.7% gain, marking the second consecutive quarterly increase after five straight quarters of decline. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 1,800.00-2,450.00/MT is expected, with demand stabilization likely to continue if luxury apparel spending firms further.
PIMA Cotton is an extra-long staple, or ELS, cotton variety prized for its exceptionally long, fine, and strong fibers, producing softer, more durable, and higher-luster fabric than standard upland cotton varieties. Grown predominantly in the United States, primarily in California and Arizona under the Supima trademark, alongside Peru, where it is grown along the arid coastal valleys, and to a lesser extent India and China, this premium fiber commands a substantial price premium over standard cotton given its use in high-end apparel, bedding, and luxury textile applications. Demand for this market tracks the broader luxury apparel and premium textile cycle closely, meaning shifts in high-end consumer spending and retailer inventory positioning can meaningfully affect pricing. Luxury apparel and premium textile demand, retailer inventory positioning, and extra-long staple cotton growing conditions are what drive prices in this market.
PIMA Cotton Price Forecast for 2026
The outlook for PIMA Cotton through H2 2026 points to continued gradual stabilization, building on the modest recovery that emerged in the final months of 2025 and carried into early 2026. Retailers navigating high inventory levels and cautious consumer spending have been working through excess stock, and a continuation of that process, combined with any firming in luxury apparel demand, should support further gradual price gains across the regions tracked in this report.
The main upside risk is a stronger-than-expected recovery in luxury apparel and premium textile demand, which could accelerate the pace of gains beyond current expectations. The main downside risk is a resumption of the cooling demand conditions that characterized most of 2025, particularly if high retailer inventory levels and cautious consumer spending persist longer than currently expected.
