The import of woven fabrics of denim cotton weighing at least 200 g/m² to Italy is projected to decline from 19.786 million square meters in 2024 to 11.967 million square meters in 2028. This represents a decreasing trend over the forecasted period, indicating a consistent yearly contraction.
Year-over-year variations indicate a negative trend, with significant drops in import volume each year: approximately -10% from 2024 to 2025, -11% from 2025 to 2026, -12% from 2026 to 2027, and -14% from 2027 to 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period underscores this downward trajectory.
In 2023, the import volume stood at an actual value (not explicitly mentioned), which set the baseline for these forecasted declines.
Future trends to watch for include changes in global cotton production, shifts in fashion industry preferences, and evolving trade regulations in the European Union, all of which could further impact the import volume of denim fabrics to Italy.
