The forecasted import of knitted or crocheted women's and girls' slips or petticoats of man-made fibre to the US shows a consistent downward trend from 2024 to 2028. This decline follows an anticipated reduction each year, resulting in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting the overall decrease. Notably, in 2023, the total value stood at a higher point, exacerbating the projected downward trend in the ensuing years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and natural fibres, which could affect demand for man-made fibre imports.
- Trade policy changes impacting import tariffs or restrictions, influencing future import levels.
- Technological advancements in textile production that may reduce manufacturing costs domestically, reducing reliance on imports.
