In 2023, Italy's re-import of knitted or crocheted women's and girls' trousers and shorts of wool or fine animal hair stood at an unspecified baseline in thousand kilograms. From 2024 onwards, a steady decrease is forecasted, with volumes declining annually by an average of approximately 3%. By 2028, the volume is projected to fall to 5.82 thousand kilograms. This indicates a consistent downward trend over the five years, driven by potential shifts in consumer demand or market conditions.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable materials that may influence wool garment demand.
Potential impact of economic factors such as inflation on luxury textiles.
Technological advancements in textile recycling processes influencing re-import dynamics.
