In 2023, the import volume of women's or girls' negligees, bathrobes, and dressing gowns of knitted or crocheted textiles to the UK stood at 14 million items. Forecasts indicate a gradual decline from 13.951 million items in 2024 to 13.714 million items by 2028. The expected year-on-year percentage decrease from 2024 to 2025 is approximately 0.44%, and from 2025 to 2026 around 0.43%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 highlights an overall annual reduction of roughly 0.34% in import volume.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainability, which may affect import demands. Additionally, trade policies and the economic climate post-Brexit may further influence the import levels of these garments.
