In 2023, the import volume of girdles, panty girdles, and parts thereof to Italy stood at 85.3 thousand kilograms. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady decline, with volumes decreasing annually as follows: 78.71 thousand kilograms in 2024, 71.87 in 2025, 65.16 in 2026, 58.59 in 2027, and 52.14 in 2028. The year-on-year decline averages progressively each year, with the highest drop in 2028 at about 11.04% compared to 2027. Over a five-year span, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected at approximately -9.41%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative or multifunctional undergarments could further impact demand.
- Increased competition from local Italian manufacturers may reduce dependency on imports.
- Potential legislative changes or economic factors affecting trade relationships might alter import dynamics.
