The forecast for the import of self-adhesive plates, sheets, and films of plastic in rolls of a width exceeding 20 cm to the UK shows a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import volume stood at 94.5 million kilograms. By the end of 2028, it is expected to rise to 97.3 million kilograms. This indicates modest year-on-year growth rates hovering around 0.6% over this period, with an overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.7% per year.
Future trends to watch:
- Potential impact of technological advancements in plastic alternatives reducing imports.
- Changes in environmental regulations affecting the demand for self-adhesive plastics.
- Shifts in trade policies post-Brexit that could influence import volumes.
