The re-import of non-knitted or crocheted women's and girls' trousers and shorts of wool or fine animal hair to China showed a steady forecasted growth from 5.54 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 5.76 thousand kilograms in 2028. In 2023, the actual import volume was slightly lower, indicating a consistent upward trend over the years. The year-on-year increase from 2024 onwards is moderate, reflecting a stable demand, with each year recording a slight growth in volume. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028 is modest, emphasizing the gradual increase in imports.
Future trends to watch for include changes in consumer preference towards sustainable and ethically sourced materials, which could impact import volumes. Additionally, economic conditions, trade policies, and international wool market dynamics are critical factors that could influence the re-import levels in the coming years.
