In 2023, the re-importation of not knitted or crocheted men's and boys' ensembles of cotton to Italy stood at a certain level, which is a benchmark for the subsequent forecasts.

The projected trend from 2024 to 2028 indicates a clear and consistent decline in volumes re-imported, starting from 11.04 thousand kilograms in 2024 and dropping to 1.87 thousand kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year, the volume is expected to decrease by 21% in 2025, 27% in 2026, 36% in 2027, and 54% in 2028.
