The import of woven fabrics of carded wool or of carded fine animal hair to the US is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 51.88 thousand kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 36.35 thousand kilograms by 2028. This reflects a continuous year-on-year contraction. Notably, the volume stood higher in 2023, which marks the onset of this downward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this forecasted period indicates a persistent decrease in imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards synthetic or alternative materials, changes in trade policies, and adaptations by suppliers to evolving market conditions. Additionally, sustainability trends and economic factors could further impact these imports.
