In 2023, the import of woven fabric of polyester staple fibers mixed mainly or solely with viscose rayon staple fibers to Italy stood at 34.779 million USD. From 2024 onwards, a forecasted declining trend is evident. The year-on-year percentage change from 2023 to 2024 is a decrease of approximately 2.41%. This negative trajectory continues with further reductions: 2.55% in 2025, 2.57% in 2026, 2.58% in 2027, and 2.60% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period is -2.51%.

Future trends to watch for:

Global economic factors such as supply chain disruptions, tariffs, and changes in demand for synthetic blends could further impact import levels.
Innovations in textile technology and a shift towards sustainable materials may alter commitment to traditional fabric imports.
Italy’s domestic textile production capabilities and economic conditions influencing demand for imported goods.
Policy changes within the European Union and trade partnerships affecting the cost and volume of imports.
