In 2023, the re-import of tailors dummies and display dummies to France stood at a significant volume level. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a gradual decrease in volume, with a slight year-on-year reduction in kilograms imported each year. Specifically, the average yearly decrease, as indicated by the 5-year CAGR, suggests a steady decline in re-import needs possibly due to improved local manufacturing capabilities or changes in demand dynamics.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increased emphasis on sustainable practices and their impact on manufacturing and import strategies.
Technological advancements in mannequin production that could alter import needs.
Market shifts favoring digitally-driven retail experiences which may decrease reliance on physical display dummies.
