The UK is expected to see a gradual increase in the import of worked marble, travertine, and alabaster from 2024 through 2028, acknowledging steady growth reflected in forecasted data. Compared to 2023, where the import value stood at $47.873 million, the predicted figures suggest modest year-on-year percentage increases, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period under study.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Volatility in international market conditions, affecting import prices.
- Shifts in domestic demand influenced by the UK's economic health and construction industry trends.
- Political developments like trade agreements impacting tariff and non-tariff barriers.
