The forecasted import of gypsum and anhydride to the UK shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, beginning with a volume of 2.1163 billion kilograms in 2024 and reaching 2.4687 billion kilograms by 2028. This upward trend reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period. Comparing this data to the assumed 2023 import volume (not provided) suggests continued growth driven by sustained demand in construction and industrial sectors.

Key trends to watch for in the future include:

Influence of technological advancements in construction materials that might alter gypsum demand.
Economic policies affecting import tariffs and trade agreements with gypsum-exporting countries.
Environmental regulations impacting mining and processing of gypsum.
Emerging construction practices potentially diversifying material preferences.
