In 2024, the forecast for the import of women's or girls' skirts and divided skirts of textile fabrics not knitted or crocheted to the UK is 20.084 million items, representing a downward trend from 2023. The year-on-year percentage change from 2024 to 2025 is a decline of approximately 9.7%, and from 2025 to 2026, a further decrease of around 10.5% is expected. Between 2026 and 2027, the imports are projected to fall by about 11.5%, followed by a decrease of approximately 12.8% from 2027 to 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is negative, indicating an average annual decline in imports over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include potential influences from shifts in consumer fashion preferences, sustainability trends affecting textile choices, and changes in trade agreements post-Brexit that may impact import volumes and sourcing strategies.
