The forecast for imports of not knitted or crocheted men's and boys' overcoats, capes, or cloaks of wool or fine animal hair to France indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. The imports are expected to decrease from 334.26 thousand in 2024 to 235.37 thousand in 2028. This marks a significant downward trend over a five-year period, likely due to shifts in consumer preferences, potential economic challenges, or changes in fashion trends. The year-on-year variation shows a consistent reduction of approximately 8% leading to a substantial CAGR over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

A potential pivot towards eco-friendly or synthetic materials as consumer awareness of sustainable fashion increases.
Economic factors such as tariffs or changes in trade agreements that could impact import volumes.
Seasonal variations and climate change impacts influencing lower demand for heavier woolen garments.
Technological advancements in fabric production that might offer alternatives to traditional woolen textiles.
