Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in domestic production capacity in China that could influence import dependency.
Changes in global trade policies or bilateral trade agreements affecting costs.
Evolution in consumer demand for synthetic fabrics versus natural fibers.
Technological advancements in fabric manufacturing that might reduce reliance on imports.
