In 2023, the UK imported 3.5043 million square meters of boards, sheets, panels, and tiles of plaster, unfaced or unreinforced with paper. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase in import volume at an approximate compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.00%. Year-on-year, the growth rate progresses gradually from 2.79% in 2025 to 2.40% in 2028, representing an overall uptick in demand for these building materials.

Future trends to watch for include:

Evolving construction standards and eco-friendly materials potentially impacting the demand for plaster-based products.
Post-Brexit trade adjustments influencing import tariffs or logistical considerations.
Technological advancements in construction that could alter material preferences or specifications.
