Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of technological advancements in glass fibre production that could alter import needs.
- Trade regulations post-Brexit and potential effects on import dynamics.
- Shifts in demand due to changes in construction and automotive industries, which are heavy users of glass fibre materials.
