Based on the forecast for imports of non-knitted or crocheted women's and girls' skirts made of wool or fine animal hair to the UK, there is a consistent declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The import volume starts at 183.34 thousand kilograms in 2024 and decreases to 130.82 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, and a roughly calculated average decline in compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows a steady reduction over the five years. In 2023, the actual import volume was higher than the forecasted volume for 2024, indicating a downturn in demand or shifts in market dynamics.
Future trends to watch for could include:
- Changes in fashion trends impacting wool skirt demand.
- Potential impact of environmental sustainability efforts on material choices.
- Economic factors affecting consumer purchasing power and import strategy.
- Brexit-related trade adjustments or regulatory changes affecting import ease and costs.
