The UK import of not knitted or crocheted men's and boys' ensembles of cotton is projected to decline from 243.92 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 203.6 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a steady reduction in volume, with year-on-year drops averaging around 4.3% from 2024 to 2025, and continuing this downward trend through 2028. Compared to 2023 figures, estimates suggest a continuing contraction, echoing past performance trends.

Future trends to monitor:

Global cotton price fluctuations, which could affect import volumes and pricing.
UK trade policies post-Brexit, impacting trade agreements and tariffs.
Shifting fashion preferences and the rise of sustainability driving demand toward alternative fabrics.
