The volume was 28.886 million square meters in 2023, reflecting a 3.02% decline from the previous year. This marked a continuation of a downtrend, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -3.55% over the last five years. While the market saw some recovery in 2021 with a growth of 16.92%, the overall trend from 2018 to 2023 indicates a decrease in market size.
- Prior to the pandemic, the market experienced significant contractions in volume, notably in 2019 and 2020.
- The decline moderated slightly in the post-pandemic years, with a slight recovery in 2021, but resumed its downward trajectory thereafter.
For future trends, watch for potential shifts in demand due to sustainable fabric preferences, technological advancements in textile production, and economic factors influencing the textile industry in Romania. Additionally, changes in global cotton supply and price volatility could impact this market segment.
