The import of woven fabrics of combed wool or of combed fine animal hair to China for weights not exceeding 300 g/m² is set to gradually decline from 2024 to 2028, with forecasted reductions each year. In 2023, the import volume stood at levels higher than the projections for 2024 onwards, indicating a negative year-on-year trend. From 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates a consistent decline. This trend reflects a diminishing demand or possible shifts to alternative materials within China.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in consumer preferences towards synthetic or blended fabrics, which could impact imports.
China's domestic capability enhancements in fabric production, potentially reducing reliance on imports.
Potential economic policies affecting trade tariffs that might alter import volumes.
