The forecasted data shows a consistent decline in the UK's imports of aluminium alloy plate, sheet, and strip from 2024 to 2028, starting at approximately 20.426 million kilograms in 2024 and dropping to 18.517 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year percentage decrease from 2024 to 2025 is roughly 2.41%, and the forecast continues with a similar downward trend. Given the consistent reductions, we observe a negative CAGR when calculated over a five-year span starting from 2024.
Future trends to watch include the impact of Brexit-related trade policies, potential shifts in the UK's manufacturing sectors that utilize aluminium alloys, and global supply chain dynamics that could further influence import levels.
