The import of uncoated handmade paper and paperboard to the UK is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 759.31 thousand kilograms in 2024, the import volume is projected to decrease each year, reaching 597.01 thousand kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023's data, this represents a significant downward trend. Notably, between 2024 and 2025, imports are expected to drop by approximately 5.5% year-on-year. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is estimated to decline steadily.

Future trends to watch include:

Potential shifts in demand for sustainable and handmade paper, possibly affected by environmental campaigns.
Exchange rate fluctuations that could impact import pricing.
Changes in trade policies post-Brexit that might influence import regulations and duties.
