The forecasted import of knitted or crocheted women's and girls' skirts of cotton to the US shows a consistent decline from 2024 through to 2028. Starting at 2.1217 million kilograms in 2024, there is a notable reduction each year, reaching 1.4195 million kilograms by 2028. Assuming that the imports of 2023 held steady at a similar level to 2024, this data indicates that the market is encountering a declining trend, with an estimated average annual drop of about 10% compounded over these five years. Such decreases suggest shifts in consumer preferences or sourcing strategies affecting cotton imports.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in consumer demand for more sustainable or locally-sourced materials which may impact import levels.
Potential trade policy changes or tariffs on cotton garments affecting competitive pricing and market dynamics.
Technological advancements in textile production that could alter the cost dynamics, affecting imports.
Cultural or fashion trends that might sway preference away from or towards cotton skirts.
