In 2023, the import of carded or combed cotton to the US stood at 674.5 thousand kilograms. The forecast indicates a steady increase in imports, with values projected to reach 680.9 thousand kilograms by 2028. This shows an average year-on-year growth of approximately 0.3% over the forecast period.
The consistent rise in import volume reflects a stable demand in the US market and could be driven by factors such as increased textile production or changing consumer preferences for cotton-based products.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of trade policies, changes in global cotton production, and sustainable sourcing practices which might influence US import patterns.
