The forecast for re-imports of non-knitted or crocheted men's and boys' shirts made of cotton to the UK shows a consistent upward trend from 2024 to 2028, with volumes rising steadily from 103.89 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 127.26 thousand kilograms in 2028. This reflects an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 5%, indicating a robust increase in demand or re-importation activity. The sharp and consistent rise emphasizes a positive outlook for this segment of the apparel industry.

Future trends to watch for include:

Trade policy changes and market access developments post-Brexit that could affect import dynamics.
The influence of technological advancements or e-commerce innovations on supply chain efficiencies and import flows.
