The import of knitted or crocheted panty hose and tights of synthetic fibers to Germany, measuring less than 67 decitex per single yarn, is forecasted to decline from 2024 onwards. The projected figures indicate a decrease from 3.5897 million kg in 2024 to 3.1004 million kg by 2028. Compared to 2023, the value stands at a higher baseline, but the forecast shows a continuous narrowing trajectory, with each year depicting a slow yet steady decrease.
Year-on-year changes highlight a decreasing trend in imports, with the most significant cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) revealing a consistent downward movement over this five-year period.
Future trends to watch include the impact of sustainability movements favoring natural fibers over synthetic alternatives, potential shifts in fashion demands, and economic factors affecting disposable income and consumer spending patterns in the European markets. Monitoring these elements could provide insights into the reasons behind or continuation of this declining trend.
