The forecast for UK's import of women's or girls' blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses of knitted or crocheted textiles indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the import value is expected to be 33.547 million items, dropping each subsequent year to 29.15 million items by 2028. These forecasts suggest a continuous downward trend in import volumes, likely reflecting changing market dynamics or shifts in consumer preferences.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable or locally-produced garments.
- Potential impacts of trade agreements post-Brexit impacting import volumes and tariffs.
- Technological advancements in textiles that may affect production and importation needs.
