The forecast for imports of non-knitted or crocheted women's and girls' trousers and shorts of cotton to the US shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import value stood at approximately $4.82 billion, indicating a marginal drop in the subsequent years. By examining the year-on-year variations, a gradual decrease in imports is evident, with an annual decline rate of about 0.3% to 0.4%. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a slight negative trend, reflecting persistent but minor declines.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and alternative materials, which could impact the demand for cotton-based products. Additionally, trade policies and economic conditions may influence the import dynamics of these cotton garments, warranting close monitoring.
