Raw Silk Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed production cost analysis for raw silk. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for raw silk production, including the cost of raw silk production, raw silk production cost model, and other extensive details. These encompass production processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

Raw silk is a fabric variety majorly used in the textile and fabric industry. The silk is used to develop fabrics for clothing materials. It is extensively used in the textile and clothing industries as it can help produce durable and skin-friendly fabrics.  There are various types of silks varying from texture to its quality. The fine, high-quality silk processed from raw silk is specifically used for clothing fabrics that are then used to develop sarees, scarves, dresses, shirts, etc. Similarly, it is used for designing pillows, draperies, wall hangings, and upholstery.

The market for silk as a skin-friendly fabric material is rising because of the demand observed in the fabric and textile industries. Its usage for the production of a variety of silks used further for textile and fabric production, including sarees, scarfs, ties, shirts, etc., fuels its demand in the market. Its usage in designing upholstery, curtains, pillows, covers, and more drives its demand in the market.

The rise and fall in the demand observed for raw silk in the market directly impacts its procurement. Industrial raw silk procurement is largely influenced by various factors, including its demand, along with the market prices, production, and supply of raw silk from regions like China, and its trade. Hence, variations in its demand as a fabric material in the textile and fabric industries, along with its supply and market prices, are highly considered as it directly governs its procurement across borders.

Raw Material for Raw Silk Production

According to the raw silk production cost report, the key raw material for raw silk production includes cocoon (produced from silkworm).

Production Process of Raw Silk

The extensive raw silk production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:

• From Dried Cocoon: Raw silk is produced from dried cocoons. Initially, the dried cocoons are collected and processed through steaming and heating. The fiber produced from the cocoon after steaming is collected, brushed, and passed through reeling to obtain the raw silk at the end.

Raw silk comprises sericin and has a 100 percent purity rate. There are two kinds of raw silk available, including silk noil, the regular mulberry silk and tussah silk (wild silk), made from other raw silk types of different moths.

The fabric is a little crip, soft, silky, and extremely delicate. It has a nubby texture since it has uneven yarns, which are created in the weaving process. It is almost like silk but without a sheen. It gives clothes a luster and luxurious feel and has properties like being lightweight, strong, and resilient. It offers great properties like elasticity, breathability, absorbency, thermal regulation, drying speed, and shine. It has a great tensile strength with a breaking load of nearly 5000 kg per cm3. It is Hygroscopic in nature and can absorb up to 30 per cent of its weight of moisture.
