In 2023, the re-import volume of knitted or crocheted women’s and girls’ jackets and blazers of synthetic fibers to Canada was notably high, serving as a baseline for future projections. The forecast data for 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady decline, with values decreasing from 190.78 to 125.98. This demonstrates a year-on-year decline, with percentages decreasing consistently over each successive year. Over the five-year period, the compounded annual growth rate is anticipated to be negative, reflecting a shrinking market for these specific apparel imports.
Future trends to watch for:
- Fluctuations in global synthetic fiber prices that could alter import volumes.
- Changes in consumer preferences regarding sustainable and locally-produced fashion.
- Potential impact of trade agreements or tariffs affecting import costs.
- Technological advancements in textile recycling potentially affecting re-imports.
