Woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics (other than terry towelling and narrow fabrics) of cotton

cpc code 26810 covers the production of woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics made from cotton. These fabrics are widely used in the textile and apparel industries, serving as key inputs for a variety of consumer and industrial products. The cotton-based pile and chenille fabrics described by this code play a significant role in the global textile supply chain, meeting the demand for soft, durable, and visually appealing textiles across numerous applications.

The production of woven pile and chenille fabrics under cpc code 26810 involves several key steps. First, cotton fibers are spun into yarns, which are then woven into a base fabric. The woven fabric is then subjected to a pile-raising process, where small loops of fiber are raised from the surface to create the distinctive pile effect. For chenille fabrics, the woven base is cut into strips, which are then twisted to produce the characteristic chenille appearance. Finally, the fabrics may undergo additional finishing processes such as dyeing, printing, or chemical treatment to impart desired properties and aesthetics.

The main inputs required for the production of woven pile and chenille fabrics under cpc code 26810 include high-quality cotton fibers, weaving machinery, and specialized equipment for pile-raising and chenille processing. Additionally, dyes, chemicals, and other finishing agents may be used to enhance the fabrics' appearance and performance characteristics. The availability of skilled labor and access to efficient supply chains for raw materials and equipment are also crucial for the successful operation of this industry.

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 26810 are woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics made from cotton. These fabrics are widely used in the production of a variety of textile products, including upholstery, curtains, carpets, and apparel. The outputs of this industry may serve as inputs for other related industries, such as 26820 (Woven fabrics (other than pile and chenille fabrics) of cotton), 26830 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn and of synthetic staple fibres, and 26840 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn and of artificial staple fibres.
