Fabrics: warp knit (including those made on galloon knitting machines), other than those of headings 60.01 to 60.04, of synthetic fibres, printed

In 2024, fabrics: warp knit (including those made on galloon knitting machines), other than those of headings 60.01 to 60.04, of synthetic fibres, printed trade exhibited slight decline, with global flows reaching $211,434,136 and a three-year compound annual growth rate of -6.7% (five-year: -1.0%). The all-time peak of $260,613,568 was recorded in 2021; the current level is 19% below that high-water mark.

Over the 30-year observation window (1995–2024), 59% of years recorded positive growth, indicating a mildly upward trajectory with periodic contractions. Trend momentum is decelerating (-5.6% acceleration).

The supply side is concentrated (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index 0.452). The three largest exporters — China ($141.2M), Italy ($9.4M), and Pakistan ($8.9M) — collectively dominate supply flows. The leading exporter has grown at +0.7% over the last three years.

On the demand side, importer concentration is diversified (HHI 0.029). The three largest import markets are India ($18.7M), Vietnam ($11.5M), and United States ($9.7M). The largest importing market sources from 21 different supplying countries.

The dominant trade corridor is China → India at $18.4M, representing 98.3% of the importer's total demand.

The volatility score for fabrics: warp knit (including those made on galloon knitting machines), other than those of headings 60.01 to 60.04, of synthetic fibres, printed is 6 out of 100, classified as low. Trade flows are relatively stable compared to other HS6 products, suggesting mature supply chains and predictable demand.

For market entrants, contracting demand signals caution before committing resources. The concentrated supply structure suggests high barriers but also potential opportunity if dominant suppliers face disruption or capacity constraints.
