The import of knitted or crocheted men's and boys' bathrobes and dressing gowns of man-made fibre to the UK is forecasted to increase progressively from 2.973 million kilograms in 2024 to 3.1278 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth around 1.34% to 1.22% annually, signaling a steady rising trend. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five years stands at approximately 1.28%, reflecting a modest yet consistent increase. In 2023, the import volume was slightly lower than the 2024 forecast, indicating a resumption of growth.
Future trends to watch include the evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable materials, which might affect man-made fiber imports. Economic factors and trade policies post-Brexit may also impact future trade dynamics, import costs, and volumes.
