The import forecast for women's or girls' blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses of textile fabric not knitted or crocheted to the UK shows a decline from 2024 to 2028, with the value decreasing from 102.85 million items in 2024 to 95.193 million items by 2028. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a gradual downward trend. In 2023, the import level was higher, reflecting the ongoing decline.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards more sustainable and versatile apparel.
- Impacts of economic factors and trade agreements post-Brexit on import dynamics.
- Increased competition from non-textile alternatives and innovations in the fashion sector.
