In 2023, Japan imported approximately 3.12 million kilograms of knitted or crocheted panty hose and tights of synthetic fibers, with yarns measuring less than 67 decitex. Over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, a steady decline is projected, with the import volume reducing to 2.9448 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.13%.

Future trends to watch for:

Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable materials may impact synthetic fiber imports.
Trade agreements or shifts in global supply chains could alter import dynamics.
Emerging fashion trends and technological advancements in textile production may influence future demand.
