The forecasted import volume of woven fabric of combed wool or fine animal hair, mixed mainly or solely with man-made staple fibers to Japan shows a gradual decline from 913.57 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 875.17 thousand kilograms in 2028. When comparing the year-on-year variation, there is a consistent decrease by approximately 1.1% to 1.2% annually over the four years. Notably, these forecasts indicate a decreasing trend compared to 2023, when the import value stood at around 923.9 thousand kilograms, reflecting a consistent downward trend.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in textile demand due to changing fashion preferences and sustainability concerns, which may impact import volumes. Additionally, fluctuations in global wool and synthetic fiber markets and economic conditions could also influence Japan's import dynamics in this sector.
