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.
