The forecast indicates a steady decline in the import volume of instruments to measure or detect ionising radiations to the UK from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the volume stood at a higher level than projected for 2024-2028, although the exact value for 2023 isn't provided. On a year-on-year basis, each subsequent year from 2024 shows a slight percentage decrease. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years is negative, reflecting the consistent downtrend in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements that may reduce the need for imports.
- Policy changes or regulations affecting import demand.
- Emerging domestic production capabilities.
- Potential shifts in industries reliant on ionising radiation instruments.
