The re-import volume of non-knitted or crocheted men's and boys' trousers and shorts made of wool or fine animal hair to China is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, these re-imports stood at a higher level than projected for 2024. From 2024 to 2025, a year-on-year decline of approximately 12% is expected, followed by similar declines each subsequent year, indicating a downward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years shows an average annual decline, reflecting a consistent decrease in re-import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include the influence of domestic production capabilities, potential changes in trade policies, and shifts in consumer demand for luxury apparel in China. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for understanding the dynamics of re-imports in the coming years.
