In 2023, the import of ethyl acetate to the UK amounted to 7.7 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline: 7.3737 million kilograms in 2024, decreasing to 6.0867 million kilograms by 2028. This represents an average year-on-year reduction in volume of approximately 4.0%. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is -5.1%, indicating a consistent downward trend in imports.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in domestic production capabilities, changes in trade policies, and evolving demands in the chemical sector that may influence the UK's reliance on imports. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for future forecasts.
