In 2023, the import of woven fabric of combed wool or fine animal hair mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments to the US was at a lower level compared to the forecasted data starting from 2024. From 2024 to 2028, the imports are expected to increase steadily each year, with an average annual growth rate of approximately 3.42%. The volume increases from 130.88 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 149.86 thousand kilograms in 2028, indicating a positive trend in import demand for this fabric category.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of changing fashion trends towards sustainable and eco-friendly materials, potentially affecting demand for synthetic-mixed fabrics.
- Emerging trade policies and agreements that could influence import quantities and tariffs, impacting the overall cost and volume of imports.
