As a key component of the broader textile manufacturing sector, this industry plays a vital role in meeting the demand for comfortable and functional fabrics across a range of consumer and commercial markets.

Production process

The production of terry towelling and similar woven terry fabrics involves a specialized weaving process. Cotton yarns are woven in a way that creates a looped or pile surface, resulting in a soft, absorbent, and textured fabric. This is typically achieved through the use of specialized weaving machines that incorporate additional weft threads to form the terry loops. The fabric may undergo further finishing processes, such as dyeing, printing, or chemical treatments, to impart desired properties and aesthetic qualities.

Production inputs

The primary input for this industry is high-quality cotton fiber, which serves as the raw material for yarn production. In addition, manufacturers require specialized weaving machinery, such as shuttle looms or rapier looms, to create the distinctive terry fabric structure. Other inputs may include dyes, chemicals, and auxiliary materials used in the finishing and processing stages.
