The forecast for the import of knitted or crocheted men's and boys' ensembles of synthetic fibres to Japan shows a steady decline over the next five years, starting from 1.0487 million kilograms in 2024 to 0.70371 million kilograms in 2028. Compared to the actual import volume in 2023, this indicates a decreasing trend, with each subsequent year showing a year-on-year volume drop: 8.49% decrease in 2025, 9.06% in 2026, 9.78% in 2027, and 10.61% in 2028. The five-year CAGR from 2024 to 2028 is approximately -9.11%.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of emerging fashion trends towards sustainability and natural fibers, which may further influence this decline. Additionally, economic shifts and changes in consumer preferences in key export regions could alter demand projections. Lastly, increased local production capabilities could also affect import levels.
