In 2023, the import value of spark-ignition internal combustion engines to the UK was approximately 380 million US dollars. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady decline in imports, with the value expected to decrease from 357.89 million US dollars in 2024 to 265.87 million US dollars in 2028. This represents a continuous year-on-year decline, with significant drops particularly notable in 2026 and 2027. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period underscores a decreasing trend in the import of these engines.

Future trends to watch for include:

Transformation towards electric vehicles, which may further reduce the demand for spark-ignition internal combustion engines.
Regulatory changes and environmental policies that could impact import levels and stimulate shifts to alternative technologies.
Economic factors such as exchange rates and trade agreements that may influence import costs and preferences.
