In 2023, the import of unwrought non-alloy aluminium to the UK was at a certain level from which we see a forecasted decline through 2028. The values for 2024 to 2028 show a consistent reduction, indicating a gradual downward trend. The year-on-year percentage variation suggests a modest decrease annually, which when extended over these five years translates to a continual but slight descent in imports.
Future trends to watch for include global economic conditions affecting demand, potential UK manufacturing shifts reducing import reliance, and ongoing trade negotiations or tariffs impacting aluminium sources.
