The forecast for the import of not knitted or crocheted women's and girls' jackets and blazers of cotton to the US signals a significant decrease in volume from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 1.619 million kilograms in 2024, the import volume is projected to fall to 0.50671 million kilograms by 2028, marking a continuous year-on-year decline. The sharpest drop in volume is expected between 2027 and 2028. Given that 2023 served as a baseline before this downturn, it’s important to note that this five-year trend suggests an overall negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
Future trends to watch for include potential recovery factors such as changes in US fashion industry dynamics, shifts in consumer preferences, and trade policy adjustments. Additionally, technological advancements in local manufacturing might further influence import levels, as domestic production may become more competitive or sustainable options emerge.
