The re-import of not knitted or crocheted men's and boys' overcoats, capes, or cloaks of cotton to France is set to decline gradually from 2024 to 2028, based on forecasts. In 2023, the volume stood at slightly higher levels compared to the projected figures, indicating a consistent decrease over the five-year period. The year-on-year decrease is around 9% for each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 suggests an average annual decline of about 9% as well.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts of changes in consumer preferences towards knitted or crocheted varieties.
External factors such as tariffs, trade agreements, and changes in international labor costs.
Sustainability trends that may alter production and import choices within the apparel industry.
