In 2023, the re-import of not knitted or crocheted women's and girls' trousers and shorts of cotton to France stood at approximately 233.50 thousand kilograms. Following this, the forecast for 2024 indicates a slight increase to 235.15 thousand kilograms. The projections for the subsequent years up to 2028 show continued nominal growth reaching 239.14 thousand kilograms. The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2028 suggests a stable yet modest upward trajectory, with changes hovering just below 1% annually. Over the five-year forecast, a CAGR close to 0.6% highlights a trend of steady, albeit limited, growth.
Future trends to watch for include fluctuating consumer preferences for cotton garments and potential impacts of trade policies affecting the ease of re-importing clothing. Market dynamics, such as shifts to more sustainable production techniques and rising competition from digital retail channels, might also influence the re-import landscape in the coming years.
