The import of non-knitted or crocheted women’s and girls’ dresses of wool or fine animal hair into the UK is projected to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028, beginning at 1.96 thousand kilograms in 2024 and reaching 2.21 thousand kilograms by 2028. This marks a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.03% over the forecast period. This reflects a consistent increase and suggests a steady demand for these garments.

Future trends to watch for:

Changing consumer preferences towards sustainable and natural fibers, which may boost demand further.
Impact of trade policies and tariff changes due to Brexit, potentially affecting import volumes.
Technological advancements in textile manufacturing contributing to more efficient production processes.
