From 2013 to 2023, Belgium's market for silk shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils, and similar items declined significantly, reaching a per capita value of €0.29 in 2023. The year-on-year variations indicate a general downward trend: from a high of €0.67 in 2013, declining steadily over the decade, albeit with occasional minor upticks, such as the increase in 2022.
Future trends to monitor include potential impacts of sustainable and ethical fashion movements on the silk market, technological advancements in production, and changing consumer preferences towards customization and luxury items in fashion accessories.
