In 2023, the import value of asbestos-cement and cellulose fibre-cement to the UK stood at 126 million USD. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent increase in value, reaching approximately 147 million USD by 2028. This suggests a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 3.0% over the five-year period.
Year-on-year analysis indicates steady increases:
- 2024: 4.5% increase from 2023
- 2025: 3.0% increase from 2024
- 2026: 2.9% increase from 2025
- 2027: 2.7% increase from 2026
- 2028: 2.6% increase from 2027
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes, shifts in global supply chains, and innovations in construction materials which could impact import volumes and values post-2028.
