In 2023, Japan's import of women's or girls' knitted or crocheted underwear and nightwear stood at a value likely higher than 579.11 million USD, given the downward trend in the forecast data from 2024 onwards. The forecast indicates a consistent decline in import values from 2024 to 2028, with each subsequent year seeing a slight reduction, suggesting a shrinking market or a shift in sourcing strategies.
- From 2024 to 2025, the value is expected to decrease by approximately 0.6%.
- From 2025 to 2026, the decline continues with a similar rate of around 0.6%.
- The trend persists from 2026 to 2027, followed by 2027 to 2028, each with reductions in the same range.
This downward trend indicates a likely average annual decrease, hinting at market saturation or increased competitiveness elsewhere, although specific figures for 2023 are needed for precise calculations.
In terms of future trends, watch for changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable or locally-produced options, currency fluctuations affecting import costs, and potential policy changes impacting trade agreements. These factors could significantly influence Japan’s import patterns in this segment.
