The forecast for Italy's import of knitted or crocheted panty hose and tights of synthetic fibers indicates a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 3.334 million kilograms in 2024, there is a projected decline by approximately 5.6% in 2025, 5.8% in 2026, 6.1% in 2027, and 6.3% in 2028. This reflects a consistent contraction in the import volume over these years. In 2023, the import volume stood higher, indicating a notable downtrend.

Future trends to watch for:

Sustainable fashion and environmental regulations could impact synthetic fiber imports negatively.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards natural fibers may further depress demand.
Trade policies and economic agreements within the EU could alter import dynamics.
