The forecasted import volume of original sculptures and statuary into the UK shows a steady increase from 1.1129 million kg in 2024 to 1.1194 million kg by 2028. Comparatively, there is a consistent minimal rise in imports year-on-year, signifying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averaging a modest increase, reflective of a stable market demand. In 2023, the import stood just shy of the 2024 figure, signaling a steady growth trajectory from previous years.

Future trends to watch for:

Growing influence of global art markets and collectors on UK imports.
Changes in trade policies and customs that could impact import volumes.
Potential for increased demand driven by emerging markets and technology-enhanced art distribution platforms.
