The import volume of ceramic housewares, excluding porcelain or china, to Ireland has been forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. Standing at 3.0708 million kilograms in 2024, the volume is anticipated to reduce annually, reaching 2.684 million kilograms by 2028. This indicates a compound annual growth rate reflecting a consistent decrease in imports over this five-year period. The decline marks a significant drop from the volume levels observed in 2023.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable or alternative materials, impacting ceramic imports.
Trade policy changes that may influence import duties and affect the cost-benefit ratio of sourcing ceramics from abroad.
Economic factors such as inflation or changes in consumer purchasing power that might alter demand for imported ceramics in Ireland.
