The import forecast of knitted or crocheted pullovers and cardigans of cotton into Japan shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, dropping from 141.62 million to 139.5 million. Comparatively, there were slight year-on-year declines of around 0.38% from 2024 to 2025, and this pattern remains steady with small decrements each year until 2028.
Future trends to observe include the potential impact of shifting consumer preferences towards sustainable fashion options, which may influence import volumes. Additionally, tariffs or trade agreements in Asia could alter import dynamics, along with lifestyle changes due to demographic shifts in Japan.
