In 2023, India imported $66.2 million worth of non-knitted or crocheted women's and girls' trousers and shorts of cotton. Forecasts predict a steady annual increase from $69.239 million in 2024 to $82.534 million by 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 4.9% for 2024-2025, peaking at about 4.1% between 2027 and 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2024-2028 period is estimated at around 4.5%.
Future trends to watch for include potential fluctuations due to India's economic conditions and trade policies, shifts in fashion trends impacting demand, and possible changes in global cotton prices affecting import costs.
