In 2023, the import value of knitted or crocheted women's and girls' dresses of wool or fine animal hair to Italy stood at approximately USD 16 million. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline in the import value from USD 15.861 million to USD 15.533 million. The year-on-year percentage variation suggests a consistent downward trend with a small decrease each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period encapsulates this negative trajectory.

Future trends to watch:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable and locally produced apparel.
Fluctuating wool prices and supply chain disruptions impacting imports.
Changes in trade policies and agreements affecting import tariffs and costs.
