The forecasted import volumes of not knitted or crocheted women's and girls' dresses of wool or fine animal hair to the UK show a stable trend from 2024 to 2028, increasing marginally by 0.09 thousand kilograms annually. The year-on-year growth rate remains constant at approximately 0.03% annually. In 2023, the actual import volume was slightly lower, with forecasted figures indicating a minor yet consistent increase. Over the next five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is anticipated to be minimal.
Future trends worth watching include changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable and ethical fashion, which may increase the importation of wool-based garments. Additionally, shifts in trade policies post-Brexit could influence import dynamics, affecting supply chains and import volumes.
