In 2023, the import value of knitted or crocheted women's and girls' skirts of wool or fine animal hair to Japan stood at 133.22 thousand. Beginning in 2024, a downward trend is projected, with a consistent decrease in imports from 127.64 thousand in 2024 to 101.28 thousand in 2028. The year-on-year decrease reflects a diminishing interest or demand in the Japanese market for these products, with significant declines around 5% annually. The five-year CAGR suggests a steady average reduction year over year.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in fashion preferences toward alternative materials or styles, the impact of broader economic conditions on consumer spending in Japan, and changes in trade policies that might either enhance or restrict import opportunities in this category. Sustainability and ethical sourcing could also play a vital role in shaping future demand.
