The forecast for the re-import of machines to process animal or fixed vegetable fats or oils in the UK from 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend. The volume is projected to decrease from 25 kilograms in 2024 to 7 kilograms by 2028. This marks a notable year-on-year reduction: approximately 16% from 2024 to 2025, 24% from 2025 to 2026, 25% from 2026 to 2027, and 42% from 2027 to 2028. With a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period likely negative, this suggests a sustained decline in re-imports.

Future trends to monitor include:

Changes in UK domestic manufacturing capacity, possibly influencing import needs.
Regulatory changes affecting imports of industrial machinery.
Shifts in demand patterns for processed oils, potentially disrupting machinery needs.
