In 2024, the forecast for the import of plastic apparel and clothing accessories to India is $13.492 million, with a steady year-on-year growth rate that increases marginally each year, reaching $13.809 million by 2028. As of 2023, the actual value stood at a slightly lower figure, showing a consistent upward trajectory in the coming years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period reflects a stable yet modest increase.
Future trends to watch for include:

- Trade policies and tariff regulations that may impact import costs.
- Technological advancements in recycling and alternative materials potentially affecting demand for plastic-based apparel products.
