The import forecast of not knitted or crocheted women's and girls' skirts of wool or fine animal hair to Japan shows a significant decline from 2024 through 2028, with values decreasing steeply from 143.49 thousand kilograms in 2024 to just 8.07 thousand kilograms by 2028. From a 2023 perspective, the market stood at higher levels before the forecasted decline.
- Year-on-year variations reflect a substantial decrease, pointing towards a shrinking market.
- The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a sharp negative trend over the five-year span.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences toward other materials, changes in trade policies, and economic factors that might influence Japan's import levels or demand for these specific garment types. Adapting to sustainable and alternative textiles might also alter future import dynamics.
