This represents a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 2.23% over the period. Compared to 2023, where imports were lower (exact historical value not specified), the predicted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2024-2028 period is a robust 2.19%.
Future trends to watch in this market include policy shifts affecting waste imports post-Brexit, potential changes in global demand for recycled metals driven by environmental policies, and shifts in EU-UK trade relations impacting supply chain efficiencies. These factors could significantly influence future import dynamics and market stability.
