As of 2023, the import of woven fabric of combed wool or fine animal hair blended with natural fibers to India stood at 20.93 thousand kilograms. Forecast data for the period from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in volume, dropping from 20.66 to 19.67 thousand kilograms. The year-on-year variation shows consistent decreases, with the largest in 2025 at -1.26%. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for this five-year period is approximately -1.24%, reflecting a moderate downward trend in imports.
The projected decline may be attributed to several factors, including shifts towards sustainable practices and increased domestic production capabilities. Key trends to watch include technological advancements in textile manufacturing, policy changes affecting imports, and evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally produced goods.
