The market for apparel with 50% or greater content of plastic or rubber in the US is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from $19.83 million to $17.15 million. This represents an average annual decline of approximately 3.54%. The year-on-year variation over these years shows consecutive decreases, indicating a consistent downward trend. Looking at a broader period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects this continuous decline.
Future trends to watch include shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable materials, regulatory pressures on synthetic components, and innovations in eco-friendly alternatives that might impact demand dynamics for such apparel by potentially accelerating this declining trend or creating new market opportunities.
