Most of the milling, spinning, and textile manufacturing supply chain has moved from the Western world to developing countries, primarily Southeast Asia. U.S. textile manufacturing peaked in the 1994/95 marketing year with domestic use of cotton estimated at 11.198 million 480-pound bales. Since the 1994/95 marketing year, U.S. domestic cotton use has steadily declined to a projected record low of 1.75 million bales in the 2023/24 marketing year. As a result, exports are a significant source of demand for U.S. cotton.
