The import forecast for women's and girls' overcoats, capes, or cloaks of wool or fine animal hair to the US indicates a declining trend: from 2024, when imports were at 2.0109 million units, down to 1.1369 million in 2028. This represents a consistent decrease year-on-year. Compared to 2023, which served as our baseline, 2024 experienced a slight upward trend. However, subsequent years project a tapering off. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 5-year period shows a negative trajectory, indicating a contraction in import levels.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in consumer preference towards sustainable and locally-made garments, potentially impacting import demand negatively.
Macroeconomic factors such as trade policies or tariffs affecting wool or animal hair garment imports.
Innovations in textile technology possibly improving domestic production capacities, reducing reliance on imports.
