#3 In EuropeEurope's Knitted and Crocheted Fabric Manufacturing industry is seeing dynamic changes in the face of new consumer trends and disruptive technologies, with sustainability becoming the industry norm. Dynamic economies like France, Italy and Spain are leading this transformation and making impressive strides in what's becoming a more earth-conscious, fashion-forward industry. However, volatile consumer sentiment has caused many downstream producers to spend more cautiously, exacerbating the uptake of cheap imports. Industry revenue is expected to drop at a compound annual rate of 8.8% over the five years through 2024 to €7.7 billion – including an estimated slump of 3.1% in the current year.
