In 2023, Italy led the global export market for woven fabrics of combed wool or fine animal hair, holding a significant share compared to other countries. China, the United Kingdom, and Japan followed, albeit with substantially lower export values. Over the past year, notable increases were seen in countries like Denmark and Romania, whereas significant declines were evident in Germany, France, and the United States. Over the last two years, there has been a general contraction in the exports of these fabrics across many leading countries, with few exceptions showing growth.
Looking ahead to 2024 and beyond, key trends to watch include the rising prominence of countries like Indonesia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as sustainability trends influencing production. The ability of traditional exporting nations like Italy and China to innovate and adapt to changing consumer preferences will be crucial in maintaining their market share.
