In 2023, Germany's import volume of not knitted or crocheted women's and girls' blouses and shirts of cotton stood at a level just slightly above 7.5 million kilograms. From 2024 onwards, a steady decrease is forecasted, with the volume expected to drop to about 6.39 million kilograms by 2028.
Year-on-year percentage change analysis reveals a downward trend: a slight decline of around 3-4% annually from 2024 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is negative, reinforcing a consistent reduction in imports by volume across these years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in global cotton production affecting raw material availability and pricing.
- Changes in consumer preferences, possibly shifting towards sustainably sourced or alternative materials.
- Germany's economic conditions influencing overall import capabilities and consumer spending power on apparel.
