The forecast indicates a steady increase in the import of not knitted or crocheted women's and girls' blouses and shirts of silk to the UK. From 2024 to 2028, there is a consistent year-on-year growth, with imports rising from 5.1977 million units in 2024 to 5.8349 million units in 2028. This represents an average annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years.

Key future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and ethical sourcing, which could impact silk imports.
Trade policy changes post-Brexit, affecting silk garment trade terms with non-EU countries.
The influence of economic conditions and consumer spending power on luxury goods like silk apparel.
