The UK is experiencing a gradual decline in the import of not knitted or crocheted women’s and girls’ trousers and shorts of cotton from 2024 to 2028, starting at 57.0 million kilograms in 2024 and falling to 55.06 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to the previous years, a negative year-on-year percentage change is evident, averaging an approximate Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -0.87% over this five-year period.
Future trends to monitor:
- Potential shifts in fashion trends influencing cotton clothing imports.
- Trade policy changes due to post-Brexit adjustments and international trade agreements.
- Fluctuations in global cotton prices impacting production costs and import volumes.
- The influence of sustainability concerns on cotton apparel demand and sourcing.
