In 2023, Germany imported woven fabrics of carded wool or of carded fine animal hair with natural fibre amounting to an actual volume of 59.2 thousand kilograms. Forecast data shows a consistent decline in import volumes from 2024 to 2028, with values projected to drop from 57.31 to 49.99 thousand kilograms. This indicates a year-on-year decrease of approximately 3%, signifying a cautious step-down approach.
