As of 2023, the import volume of knitted or crocheted women's and girls' dresses of wool or fine animal hair to Germany stood at a higher value than the forecasted 2024 figure of 91.27 thousand kilograms. Year-on-year forecasts predict a decline, with volumes dropping to 82.49 in 2025, 73.89 in 2026, 65.45 in 2027, and reaching 57.19 by 2028. This indicates a consistent decrease in volume by approximately 10% annually over the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) would reflect this negative trend, averaging a significant decrease over five years.

Future trends to watch for:

Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable and ethically sourced materials might impact demand.
Economic fluctuations and tariffs could influence import volumes.
Technological advancements in textile manufacturing might reduce costs and increase appeal.
Germany's evolving fashion industry and retail landscape could present unpredictable shifts in import demand.
