The import of sports footwear with soles and uppers of rubber or plastics to the UK shows a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028. The volume of imports is expected to grow from 6.178 million kilograms in 2024 to 6.288 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a low but consistent year-on-year growth rate of approximately 0.5%. By 2023, imports stood around this volume due to similar growth patterns. From 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is just under 0.5%, indicating modest yet stable growth.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards more sustainable or innovative shoe materials, impacting demand. Additionally, trade policies and economic factors within the UK and globally could affect import volumes. Monitoring these aspects will be crucial for adapting strategies.
