The forecast for the import of knitted or crocheted women's and girls' briefs or panties of cotton to the US shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. The volume is projected to decrease from 30.867 million kilograms in 2024 to 29.872 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year reduction in import volume. Assuming the value in 2023 slightly above 30.867 million kilograms, the data suggests a conservative import volume trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally-made products potentially affecting imports.
- Trade policy changes impacting US cotton imports.
- Technological advancements in textile production improving domestic manufacturing capabilities.
