The forecast series for Italy's import of woven fabrics, including carded or combed wool, fine and coarse animal hair, and horsehair, indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 15.523 million square meters in 2024, the import volume is expected to decrease annually to 10.23 million square meters by 2028. This represents a yearly decline, with the most significant drop projected in the later years. Notably, while specific 2023 figures are not provided, the downward trend reflects an ongoing contraction in import volume over these forecasts.
Future trends to observe include:
- Potential impacts of new trade policies on import volumes.
- Technological advancements in domestic production that may reduce dependence on imports.
- Shifts in consumer demand for sustainable and ethically sourced materials, influencing import preferences.
