In 2023, the import of knitted or crocheted women's and girls' bathrobes and dressing gowns of cotton to India was higher than subsequent forecasts, standing at a notable volume. There is a predicted decline in import volume from 2024 to 2028, with a consistent negative trend reflected in a year-on-year decrease. Specifically, the import volume is anticipated to drop from 1.94 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 1.33 thousand kilograms by 2028.

With this trajectory, there is a noticeable annual decline, or CAGR, suggesting a contracting market over the forecasted period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts toward local manufacturing and reduced dependency on imports.
Changes in consumer preferences and demand for eco-friendly or alternative fabric options.
Impact of global trade policies and cotton price fluctuations on import volumes.
