This marks a year-on-year decrease of 1.75% in 2025, 1.75% in 2026, 1.74% in 2027, and 1.73% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects an average annual decline of approximately 1.72% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028.
In 2023, the actual import stood at a slightly higher point, indicating a consistent downtrend in volume. If this trend continues, factors such as changing consumer preferences, possible shifts towards sustainable or local products, and evolving demand in fashion should be closely monitored. It is crucial to watch the industry for any emerging trends or innovations that may impact import volumes, such as the rise of alternative fashion products or changes in trade policies and global supply chains.
