In 2023, the UK imported approximately 66.5 million kilograms of unwrought aluminium alloys. Projections for 2024 to 2028 show a slight decrease in imports from 66.204 million kilograms in 2024 to 65.112 million kilograms in 2028, reflecting a modest downward trend. The year-on-year variation averages a decrement of about 0.5%, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.4% over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from shifts in global trade policies, changes in domestic demand, technological advancements in aluminium recycling, and the overall global aluminium market dynamics. Sustainability initiatives could also influence import levels.
