The import of flexographic printing machinery to the UK has shown a steady growth trajectory from 2024 onwards, beginning at 18.87 thousand in 2024 and projected to reach 21.82 thousand by 2028. This consistent increase indicates a promising uptick in demand over the four-year period.
Year-on-year growth rates are approximately 4% to 5%, highlighting a stable upward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years stands at around 3.70%, reflecting modest yet solid expansion. In 2023, the imports slightly below this range underscored renewed growth impetus post-2024.
Future trends to watch for include potential disruptions from technological advancements in packaging and printing technologies, shifts due to Brexit impacts on trade policies, and the sustainability movement influencing demand dynamics in printing machinery.
