The import forecast for combed wool in fragments to Germany shows a consistent declining trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, imports are expected to be 246.4 thousand kilograms, decreasing annually to reach 164.95 thousand kilograms in 2028. Assuming the 2023 imports were slightly higher than 2024, the average decline in import volumes is significant, indicated by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that reflects this downward momentum. This pattern suggests a year-on-year percentage reduction in imports, emphasizing a steady weakening in demand or shifting market preferences.
Future trends to watch for include potential disruptions in global wool supply chains, changes in fashion trends affecting demand, and the impact of sustainable and synthetic fiber alternatives on market preferences. These factors may further influence the long-term trajectory of wool imports into Germany.
