The forecast for the import of printing inks (excluding black) to the UK shows a consistent decline from 26.142 million kilograms in 2024 to 23.748 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -2.4% over the five-year period. The year-on-year variation indicates a decreasing trend of around 2-3% annually, marking a steady reduction in volume imports.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in digital printing, which may lead to decreased demand for traditional printing inks. Additionally, shifts in environmental regulations and sustainability efforts could further impact the import volume as the industry adjusts to newer standards.
