The import of non-coloured cotton fabrics weighing at least 200 g/m² to Germany is projected to decline gradually from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the volume stood at 64.2 million square meters. By 2024, it decreases to 61.347 million square meters, marking a subtle decline. This downward trend continues over the forecast period with a consistent decrease observed each year. The year-on-year import volume reduces by an approximate average of 4% with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting a steady negative growth of around 3.6% over five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in manufacturing costs, shifts in consumer demand for textiles, and evolving trade policies that could influence cotton import volumes. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for predicting future import dynamics.
