Italy's import of cotton woven fabrics is forecasted to decline from 428.82 million square meters in 2024 to 360.43 million in 2028. This represents a consistent annual decrease, with projections showing a reduction of around 4% annually over the five-year period. In 2023, the volume stood at slightly lower levels than 2024, highlighting ongoing downward pressure in this sector.

Future trends to watch for:

The impact of sustainable fashion, potentially reducing overall demand for cotton-based products.
Trade policies and tariffs affecting cost and volume of imports.
Technological advancements in synthetic alternatives may lead to shifts in textile imports.
