In 2023, the import value of woven fabrics of carded wool or fine animal hair with natural fiber to Italy amounted to a certain level. From this point, the forecast for 2024 shows a starting value of 886.2 thousand USD, which then gradually declines each year, reaching 746.85 thousand USD by 2028. Notably, the imports are anticipated to decrease annually, with an average year-on-year decline of approximately 4.2% over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in global trade agreements affecting wool imports.
- Changes in domestic production capabilities or consumer preferences towards local or alternative fabrics.
- Economic factors or currency fluctuations that may impact import costs.
- Environmental policies influencing the sourcing of natural fibers.
