The import of knitted or crocheted women's and girls' dresses of synthetic fibres to Japan is projected to increase steadily from 14.174 million kilograms in 2024 to 15.421 million kilograms in 2028. Observing the year-on-year variations, the import volume is anticipated to rise by approximately 2.3% in 2025, 2.2% in 2026, 2.1% in 2027, and 2.0% in 2028. The last five years reflected a steady compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) as well. In 2023, the actual import stood at a moderate volume, serving as a baseline for this projection.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable materials that might impact synthetic fibers.
- Changes in international trade regulations or production costs affecting import dynamics.
- Emerging fashion trends and their effect on the volume demand for synthetic fiber dresses.
