In 2023, Germany imported not knitted or crocheted women's and girls' dresses of wool or fine animal hair with a value of 12.9 million USD. Starting in 2024, a slight decline is anticipated, with imports decreasing annually by approximately 1% from 2024 to 2028. The five-year CAGR suggests a steady but slow declining trend in import value, averaging around -1% per year due to evolving fashion preferences and improved local sourcing.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable and ethical fashion might boost demand for locally sourced products.
- Potential trade policy changes, especially in EU regulations, which may impact import volumes.
- Technological advancements in textile manufacturing impacting global competitiveness.
