The import of not-knitted or crocheted men's and boys' overcoats, capes, or cloaks of wool or fine animal hair to the US is expected to decline consistently from 2024 to 2028 at an average annual rate, or CAGR, reflecting a potential shift in market dynamics. The projected gradual decline from 1.6725 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.2111 million kilograms in 2028 suggests changing consumer preferences or supply chain adjustments. The year-on-year reduction from 2024 of 1.6725 million kilograms to 2025 of 1.5536 million kilograms represents a decrease of approximately 7.1%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential rise in domestic production reducing reliance on imports.
Shifts in fashion industry trends affecting demand patterns.
Policy changes influencing trade agreements related to textile imports.
Economic factors such as consumer spending power and potential economic downturns.
