The import of garments of knit or crochet impregnated fabric to the US was approximately at 8.40 million kilograms in 2023. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 indicate a slight decline from 8.4035 million kilograms to 8.3798 million kilograms, reflecting a decreasing trend with negligible year-on-year variations. Overall, this translates into a muted decline with minimal impact on the compound annual growth rate over the period.

Key future trends to monitor include:

Impact of global trade dynamics influencing import patterns.
Shifts in domestic production versus international sourcing.
Changes in consumer preferences affecting demand for knitted garments.
Technological innovations in garment manufacturing and their potential effect on imports.
