In 2023, the import of cotton waste, except garnetted stock, to the US was 18.7 million USD. Forecast data indicates a positive trend: 18.973 million USD in 2024, increasing steadily to 19.929 million USD by 2028. Year-on-year growth exhibits a consistent upward movement, with a slight annual increase of around 1.3% to 1.4%.
