Cotton Ginning Machinery Market Report 2026

The cotton ginning machinery market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.39 billion in 2025 to $3.62 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of cotton cultivation, growth in textile manufacturing, increasing replacement of manual ginning, availability of saw and roller gins, rising demand for high-quality lint.

The cotton ginning machinery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.84 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of automated ginning plants, rising focus on reducing fiber contamination, expansion of export-oriented cotton production, growing investments in modern ginning infrastructure, increasing focus on sustainability. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing mechanization of cotton ginning operations, rising adoption of automatic feeding systems, growing focus on fiber quality improvement, expansion of high-capacity ginning machines, enhanced emphasis on energy efficiency.

The growth of the cotton ginning market is expected to be propelled by an increasing demand for cotton and related products. Cotton, being the oldest and widely used fabric for apparel, offers comfort, especially in humid tropical regions. Additionally, it is utilized in the production of various industrial fabrics. A report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in August 2023 forecasts a 4.5 percent increase, amounting to 115.9 million bales, in global cotton mill use for 2023-24. The process of separating fiber from the seed through cotton ginning machines is essential before selling cotton, contributing to the expansion of the cotton ginning market.

Leading companies in the cotton ginning machinery market are emphasizing technological innovations, such as pre-grooved roller modules for double-roller gins, to meet the growing demand for higher throughput, reduced labor requirements, improved fiber quality, and energy-efficient cotton processing driven by expanding global cotton production and sustainability pressures. Pre-grooved roller modules are components in roller gins featuring deep, precisely machined spiral grooves, unlike traditional shallow-grooved rollers that wear down quickly under friction. The deeper grooves ensure better grip and consistent contact with seed cotton during ginning, reducing fiber slippage, minimizing downtime from frequent re-grooving, and maintaining stable lint output over extended periods. For example, in May 2025, Bajaj Steel Industries Limited (BSIL), an India-based machinery manufacturer, in collaboration with ICAR-CIRCOT, an India-based research institute, introduced pre-grooved roller ginning technology for double-roller gins. This technology reportedly lowers labor and energy costs by approximately 10% while increasing lint yield from 63 kg/hr to 70 kg/hr per gin, effectively boosting overall production capacity by around 10%. The new rollers employ chrome-leather washers compressed onto a metal shaft and precision-grooved to ~25 mm depth, maintaining consistent surface roughness and eliminating the need for frequent re-grooving. This innovation benefits cotton ginning mills by reducing downtime, lowering labor and energy expenses, and increasing throughput without compromising fiber quality, including seed cuts, fiber length, and neps.

In May 2024, Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC), an agricultural firm based in Singapore, acquired Namoi Cotton Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to enhance LDC's operational capabilities and strengthen its market position in the cotton industry by integrating Namoi Cotton's ginning and marketing services. Namoi Cotton Ltd. is an Australian agricultural company specializing in cotton ginning, lint classing, and the marketing of cotton lint and cottonseed.
