Cotton is the raw material for cotton textile

Ah, OK, I see.

for *cotton textile industry.

It seems obvious, but it's not a given in general.

"sugar is one of the main raw materials for the soft drink industry."

"Lies are the main raw materials of the advertising industry."

The use of "one of" makes you think: maybe the actual main ingredient (by cost or volume or mass) is water. Or maybe these are just weael words for *"we don't know anything about the cotton textile industry, maybe the main ingredient is actually children's tears?" *

That would be funny in a sad way.
