The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decline. By 2024, imports are expected to reach 2.89 thousand items, marking a 6.8% year-on-year decrease. In 2025, a further 7.3% decline is anticipated, bringing the volume to 2.68 thousand. This trend continues, with projections of 2.47 thousand in 2026, 2.27 thousand by 2027, and 2.07 thousand in 2028.
