Descripción
Increasing competition from foreign manufacturers threatens the viability of textile
producers in the United States. This paper evaluates the U.S. competitive position
in the cotton yarn segment using established quantifiable measures and provides an
overall competitive assessment. The measures employed show the United States to
be at a relative competitive disadvantage when compared to major international
producers of cotton yarn. However, the margin of this competitive disadvantage is
shown to be relatively small and in some cases, decreasing.
