In 2023, the import volume of not knitted or crocheted women's and girls' blouses and shirts of cotton to China was an estimated baseline number, as 2024 forecasts a growth to 1.423 million kilograms. Over the following years, imports are projected to grow steadily with a year-on-year percentage increase of approximately 2.3% from 2024 to 2025, and similar growth rates expected each year until 2028, reaching 1.5469 million kilograms. The five-year CAGR indicates consistent upward momentum in import volumes.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Fluctuations in global cotton prices and supply chain dynamics that may influence these projections.
- Changing consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally sourced fabrics that might impact import volumes.
- Trade policies and agreements affecting global textile trade, especially between China and major exporting countries.
