In 2023, imports of knitted or crocheted women's and girls' trousers and shorts of wool or fine animal hair to Japan stood slightly below 50 thousand kilograms. The forecasts indicate a gradual year-on-year increase in volume, reaching up to approximately 54.93 thousand kilograms by 2028. This reflects an average annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years of a modest 2%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of fashion trends on woolen products, shifts in consumer preference towards sustainable clothing, and changes in trade regulations affecting import dynamics in Japan's apparel market. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for stakeholders.
