The import of woven fabrics of carded wool or fine animal hair mixed mainly or solely with man-made staple fibers to Japan is projected to increase from 357.77 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 392.24 thousand kilograms in 2028. Assuming a slight decrease from 2023 levels, this indicates a steady annual growth rate, with the import volume rising approximately 2-3% year-on-year. This steady growth suggests a stable demand for these products in Japan.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and organic materials that might affect demand.
Changes in global trade policies that could impact import volumes.
Technological advancements in textile production that may alter the dynamics of raw material requirements.
