The import of track-laying tractors (crawlers) to the UK is forecasted to see a sharp decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at approximately 434.66 thousand kilograms in 2024, the imports are projected to decrease by 81.95% to reach 81.78 thousand kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year percentage variation shows a consistent declining trend, with a significant drop each year. For context, the import volume in 2023 stood at approximately 450 thousand kilograms, which indicates an overall downward trajectory over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch include potential recovery or continued decline, driven by technological advancements, shifts in farming practices, and trade policies post-Brexit affecting agricultural imports. Monitoring changes in domestic production capacity and international trade agreements will provide further insights.
