In 2023, the re-import value of not knitted or crocheted women's and girls' blouses and shirts of man-made fibers to the UK was approximately 1 million. Forecast data indicates a steady increase with values rising to 1.1548 million by 2028. From 2024 to 2025, the year-on-year growth is projected at 3.24%, followed by 3.08% in 2026, 2.92% in 2027, and 2.78% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is expected to average around 2.59%.
Future trends to watch include emerging sustainable fashion practices and potential policy changes post-Brexit, which may impact textile trade dynamics. The global shift towards sustainable materials could also influence the composition and sourcing practices of these garments, potentially affecting import volumes.
