The import volume of plastic apparel and clothing accessories in the US is forecasted to show a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with values rising from 142.94 million kilograms in 2024 to 148.43 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, the market is expected to grow modestly each year. This trend indicates a stable demand for these imports, with a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 1% each year.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential environmental regulations impacting plastic use in apparel could alter import dynamics.
