After a consistent period from 2014 to 2023, where the import of knitted or crocheted hosiery, including panty hose, tights, stockings, and socks, to France had reached 75 million items in 2023, future projections indicate a progressive decline in import volumes. The forecasted data suggest a decrease leading up to 2028, with respective yearly volumes tapering from 71.021 million to 52.533 million items. This reflects a compound annual growth rate of decline, projecting nearly a consistent annual reduction over the five years.
Future trends may be influenced by shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally-sourced products, changes in fashion markets, or increasing domestic production capabilities. Dynamics such as these could potentially alter the downward import trajectory.
