The forecasted import values of yarn made from combed fine animal hair to Japan indicate a consistent decline from 2024 onwards. Starting at 1.31 million USD in 2024, the value is expected to decrease by approximately 13% to 1.14 million USD in 2025, and then continue its downward trajectory with an average annual decrease of roughly 13% over the subsequent years, dropping to 0.65 million USD by 2028. Compared to 2023, these forecasted numbers suggest a clear trend of declining imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards synthetic fibers or alternative materials.
- Impact of global economic conditions and trade policies on import volumes.
- Development of domestic alternatives and innovations in the textile sector that could affect import needs.
