The forecast for the import of waterproof footwear covering the ankle but not the knee into India predicts a consistent decline from 12.44 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 5.23 thousand kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, where the import volume was at 13.92 thousand kilograms, the trend shows a significant year-on-year decrease throughout the forecast period. The sharp decline is particularly notable with a predicted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a continual annual drop over these five years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifting consumer preferences towards locally manufactured products could further impact imports.
Potential changes in trade policies and tariffs that might influence import costs and volumes.
Technological advancements in domestic production could reduce reliance on imports.
Environmental concerns and sustainable practices gaining priority may affect product choices.
