The import volume of worn clothing and other worn articles into the US stood at 6.611 million kilograms in 2024. Forecasts indicate a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing to 6.4917 million kilograms. This suggests a year-on-year downward trend, with an approximate average decrease of 0.38% per year over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable fashion, which could either bolster demand for second-hand clothing or challenge it due to changing market dynamics. Additionally, policy changes regarding import regulations could further influence these forecasts.
