The forecast for the import of knitted or crocheted cotton overcoats, capes, or cloaks for women and girls in Brazil from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline. Starting at 204,080 kg in 2024 and decreasing to 154,280 kg by 2028, these numbers reveal a negative trend. Prior to these forecasts, actual imports in 2023 provide a useful reference point, which implies a higher volume than what is projected.
The year-on-year percentage variations indicate a steady downward trend: -6.3% from 2024 to 2025, -6.6% from 2025 to 2026, -6.9% from 2026 to 2027, and -7.3% from 2027 to 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is approximately -7%, suggesting a gradual decrease in import volume.
Future trends to watch for include changes in consumer preferences towards other materials or locally produced clothing, potential shifts in trade policies affecting import tariffs, and the economic conditions that could impact consumer spending power, potentially influencing demand for imported apparel in Brazil.
