The forecast for the UK's import of degreased or carbonised wool, not carded or combed, shows a decrease from 20.732 million kilograms in 2024 to 18.872 million kilograms in 2028. Compared to the actual data for 2023 (not provided here), this reflects a decreasing trend. Year-on-year percentage changes indicate a gradual decline in imports with a reduction of 2.31% on average each year from 2024 to 2028.
Future trend considerations include:
- Impact of global wool production and demand.
- Shifts in textile and fashion industry preferences.
- Trade policy changes post-Brexit affecting wool imports.
- Advances in synthetic alternatives competing with wool.
