In the UK, the forecast for the import of men's or boys' trousers and breeches made from man-made fibres indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. Beginning at 27.115 million items in 2024, imports are projected to decrease to 24.142 million items in 2028. This marks a continuous drop, with a year-on-year variation averaging a decline of approximately 2.9% annually. The compound annual growth rate over this forecasted period suggests a consistent downward trend in volume imports.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of sustainability practices on fabric choices, shifts in consumer preferences towards natural fibres, and any trade policy changes post-Brexit that could influence import levels.
