The IWTO is pleased to announce the release of the 20th edition of the Market Information. Marking two decades as the global wool textile industry’s trusted source of market intelligence, the new edition draws on data compiled by Independent Commodity Servives, with contributions from Mercado, Delta Agri-consultants, and Wood Mackenzie.

Since its launch, the Market Information has tracked the wool value chain from farm to retail, combining statistics with expert analysis.

“Twenty editions in, the value of this report has not changed,” says Isak Staats, chair of IWTO’s Market Intelligence Committee. “With the Market Information, we aim to give the industry a clear pictre of where the market has been and where it is heading.”

20th Edition Highlights

The past season has been pivotal for wool prices, and this edition will help you understand why. New for this year, the report includes synthetic fibre data from Wool Mackenzie, giving an authoritative view of how wool stacks up alongside polyester, polyamide, acrylic and cellulosics, plus on-farm labour-efficiency benchmarking so that wool enterprises can be compared to meat and cropping.

Other features include

  • What geopolitics mean for fibre demand
  • A finer clip production picture
  • A traceability deep-dive
  • Updated sustainability premium tracking
  • An exclusive feature by British Wool CEO Andrew Hogley on the strong wool price recovery
