The forecasted import of raw silk to India shows a consistent decline from 2024 through 2028, illustrating a downward trend in volume. In 2023, the import volume stood at approximately 2 million kilograms. From 2024 onward, we see a year-on-year decrease of around 11.36% in 2025, 12.54% in 2026, around 14.08% in 2027, and finally, it falls by approximately 16% in 2028.
