From 2013 to 2023, the per capita volume of women's or girls' blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses of knitted or crocheted textiles in France decreased significantly from 0.59 to 0.29. This represents a substantial decline over the decade, with a notable dip during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In 2022, the volume briefly recovered to 0.31 before stabilizing back to 0.29 in 2023.

As we look to the future, potential areas to watch include:

Innovations in sustainable textiles and production methods, as consumers increasingly prioritize environmental impact.
The growing influence of online retail channels, which could alter purchasing patterns significantly.
Potential market recovery driven by fashion trends that favor knitted or crocheted textiles.
