The forecast for re-imports of knitted or crocheted men's and boys' trousers and shorts of cotton to Italy shows a declining trend from 149.8 thousand in 2024 to 135.31 thousand in 2028. At the end of 2023, this value was slightly higher, suggesting a consistent downward trajectory in the near term.
Year-on-year, the projected reduction ranges between 2% and 3% annually, indicating a modest but steady decrease. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the 5-year period stands at approximately -2.5%, which underscores a gradual decline in re-import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of shifting trade policies, fluctuating demand for sustainable and locally-sourced apparel, and macroeconomic factors that may alter consumer behavior and import strategies.
