The import of men's or boys' trousers, breeches, and shorts of wool or fine animal hair to the UK is projected to continue declining from 2024 to 2028, starting at 2.18 million items in 2024 and decreasing to 1.81 million items by 2028. This represents a consistent downward trend with a year-on-year decrease of approximately 4-5%. The 5-year CAGR indicates an average annual decline of around 5%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of changing fashion trends on demand for woolen garments.
Potential trade policy changes post-Brexit affecting import tariffs and regulations.
Increasing interest in sustainable and ethically produced clothing, potentially shifting demand towards alternative fabrics.
