In 2023, the import of knitted or crocheted women's and girls' skirts of wool or fine animal hair to the US was approximately 64,400. Looking ahead to the forecasted data, there is a continuous decline observed from 2024 to 2028, with the imports dropping from 53,310 to 10,020 (value in thousands). This represents a significant decrease of approximately 20.8% year over year between 2024 and 2025, followed by even sharper declines in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 stands at approximately -33%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in consumer preferences potentially steering away from wool or fine animal hair due to ethical or sustainability concerns.
Changes in trade policies that could either restrict or promote these imports.
Innovation in textile materials which might impact demand patterns.
