The import of women's or girls' outerwear to the UK is forecasted to show a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, imports were at 36.23 million items, indicating a gradual year-on-year reduction. The year-on-year changes depict a consistent decrease, averaging a contraction at a CAGR of approximately -1.32% over the five-year span. This suggests a shrinking import market for non-knitted women's textile coats and similar products.

Future trends to watch for include:

The potential shift in consumer preferences towards sustainable or locally produced apparel.
Possible impacts of trade agreements or trade barriers post-Brexit.
Economic factors and their influence on consumer spending patterns in the UK.
