In 2023, the US imported 14.32 thousand kilograms of woven fabrics of carded wool or of carded fine animal hair, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 show a steady decline, starting at 12.85 thousand kilograms in 2024 and falling to 1.59 thousand kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year percentage changes indicate a negative trend, with a sharp contraction, highlighting diminishing demand or increased competition. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is negative, reflecting a significant downturn in imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences, technological innovations in textile production, and policy changes affecting trade. Variations in global macroeconomic conditions and sustainability focus could further impact these imports.
