The import of woven fabric of combed wool or fine animal hair, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments to Canada has been on a declining trend. In 2023, the import value stood at a higher level compared to the forecasted figures for 2024 and beyond. The forecast suggests a consistent reduction, from $974.55 thousand in 2024 to $878.39 thousand in 2028, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that points to an average decline of about 2.54% per year over this period.
