In 2024, the UK is forecasted to import 859.3 thousand kilograms of filament tow of nylon or other polyamides, starting a gradual decline through to 2028, where imports are expected at 781.44 thousand kilograms. This continuous decrease represents a modest year-on-year reduction, averaging a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately -2.4% from 2024 through 2028. The downward trend in imports could indicate shifting market preferences, increased domestic production, or alternative materials use.
Future trends to watch for:
- Shifts in global nylon production and supply chain changes.
- Technological advancements leading to alternatives.
- Environmental regulations impacting material preferences.
