The import of antimony to the UK is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 159.23 thousand kilograms in 2024, it is expected to decrease each year, reaching 104.78 thousand kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, where data indicate a higher baseline, this represents a significant reduction over the five-year period. The year-on-year decline reflects a consistent negative trajectory, suggesting a contraction in demand or strategic sourcing shifts. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exhibits an average downward trend over these years, underscoring a persistent decrease in import volume.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in global antimony supply chains, UK regulatory changes affecting imports, and technological advancements reducing dependency on this metal. Monitoring geopolitical influences and alternative materials may also provide insights into future import needs.
