The UK’s import of diesel automobiles with cylinder capacity not exceeding 1500 CC is projected to gradually increase from 2024 to 2028, with forecast values of 159.56 to 167.22 million kilograms. In 2023, imports were lower than in 2024, suggesting a positive growth trajectory. From 2024, year-on-year growth averages approximately 1.2% through to 2028. When considering the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period, it indicates a steady upward trend in volume.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in consumer preferences towards electric vehicles, potential changes in emissions regulations, and trade policy adjustments post-Brexit, which could all impact the import volumes of diesel engines.
