In 2024, the forecast for the re-import of circular knitting machines with a cylinder diameter not exceeding 165 mm to France is projected to reach 3.59 thousand kilograms. This represents a continuation of previous growth trends. The year-on-year variations exhibit consistent growth, increasing by about 5-6% annually from 2025 to 2028. This steady rise points to an average annual compound growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4.8% over the five-year forecasted period.

Future trends to monitor include:

Technological advancements that may influence the demand for high-efficiency circular knitting machines.
Changes in trade regulations that could impact re-import activities and related costs.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable fashion, potentially driving demand for versatile and eco-friendly knitting technologies.
