The forecast for re-import of knitted or crocheted women's and girls' blouses and shirts of man-made fibre to China highlights a consistent year-on-year decline. From 2024 to 2028, this re-import volume is set to decrease from 2.52 to 1.24 thousand kilograms. The trend shows a persistent negative trajectory, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a drop over the five-year period. In 2023, the volume stood at a notable level before the forecasted decline.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts in production back to domestic manufacturing impacting re-import needs.
- Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable or locally sourced garments.
- Trade policy adjustments that might affect cross-border textile trade dynamics.
- Technological advancements in textile production that reduce dependency on imports.
