The forecast for the import of cotton to the Netherlands shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at $187.53 million in 2024, the value is expected to decrease to $175.96 million by 2028. Compared to 2023, this indicates a consistent year-on-year decline, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period being negative. This suggests a reduction in the reliance on cotton imports, possibly driven by factors such as increased domestic production, changes in demand, or a shift towards alternative materials.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of technological advancements in textile production, shifting consumer preferences towards sustainable materials, and potential trade policy changes that could further influence the import levels of cotton into the Netherlands.
