In 2023, Portugal led European imports of cotton yarn of combed fibres, with a volume of 77.579 million kilograms. Italy followed with 43.977 million kilograms, while Germany and Poland imported 24.969 and 11.449 million kilograms, respectively. The UK and Finland showed the largest declines at -12.4% and -35.84%. Growth was barely recorded in Greece and Ireland, at 7.31% and 6.69% respectively. Over the past years, Portugal has consistently strengthened its position as the leading importer, while countries like Spain, Denmark, and Slovenia saw significant declines.
Future Trends:
- Portugal is expected to maintain its leading position in imports due to its robust textile industry.- Italy's slight decline suggests a potential shift towards local production or alternative fibre blends.- Environmental policies and sustainable sourcing will likely influence future import volumes and sourcing countries.- Technological advances in textile manufacturing and changing consumer demands for sustainable and ethically sourced materials will also impact future trends.
