In 2023, the US imported approximately 2.35 million kilograms of sewing thread of synthetic filaments. The forecast for 2024 suggests a slight decrease to 2.3284 million kilograms. From 2024 through 2028, the annual import volumes are expected to progressively decline, reaching 2.2425 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, with the CAGR indicating a consistent downtrend in imports of 0.9% annually over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global production patterns, changes in international trade policies, and technological advancements in textile manufacturing that could influence import volumes, potentially offsetting the declining trend. Additionally, sustainability trends may encourage innovations that impact the demand for synthetic materials.
