In 2024, Greece emerged as the leading European importer of men's and boys' jerseys, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats, and cardigans made of man-made fibres, demonstrating a notable year-on-year increase of 50.21%, which is significantly higher compared to other countries. The United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and Spain followed, with more moderate year-on-year growth rates. Malta exhibited the most substantial growth at 182.51%, indicating a rapidly expanding market. Countries like Slovakia and Hungary faced declines, with Slovakia experiencing a substantial decrease in imports.
Future trends to watch include the continuous expansion of emerging markets such as Malta and Greece. Economic uncertainties and shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable and locally-produced apparel may further impact import patterns in traditionally larger markets like Germany and the United Kingdom. Additionally, technological advancements in textile production might influence cost structures and demand for imports across Europe.
