The production of knitted or crocheted fabrics in France is experiencing a significant decline. In 2024, the production is forecasted at 4.509 million kilograms, decreasing by approximately 24% in 2025 to 3.4366 million kilograms. This downward trend continues, with a nearly 31% decrease to 2.3749 million kilograms in 2026, followed by a 44% drop to 1.3239 million kilograms in 2027, and finally an 79% decrease to a mere 0.28332 million kilograms in 2028.
