The forecasted re-import of non-knitted or crocheted women's and girls' jackets and blazers of synthetic fibers to the UK in 2024 stands at 13.65 thousand units. In 2023, the actual data indicated the beginning of a declining trajectory, which is expected to continue. The year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2028 is significant, with the most substantial drop observed between 2027 and 2028 at a rate of 83%. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a sharp average annual decrease, reflecting diminished demand or possible shifts in domestic production.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable materials, which might impact synthetic fiber demand. Additionally, fluctuations in trade policies or import tariffs post-Brexit could further influence re-import volumes.
