In 2023, China imported 2.5 thousand kilograms of knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, or mitts of wool or fine animal hair. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in imports, starting at 2.35 thousand kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 1.81 thousand kilograms by 2028. This reflects a consistent downward trend with year-on-year variations averaging around -6.1% annually.
Future trends to watch for:
- Changes in consumer preferences towards synthetic alternatives or locally produced goods could further impact import volumes.
- Potential economic fluctuations might alter the purchasing power and demands, affecting imports.
- Environmental and regulatory changes might influence the sourcing and use of wool and fine animal hair products.
