The import of Portland cement, excluding white cement, to the UK is forecasted to decrease steadily over the years 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import volume was higher than the forecasted 50.719 million kilograms for 2024, indicating a downward trend. Year-on-year variations show consecutive declines of approximately 7.5% from 2024 onwards, illustrating a consistent reduction in annual import volume. The five-year CAGR analysis also confirms an average year-on-year decrease in imports.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in domestic production capacity, construction industry demand, regulatory changes, and environmental considerations, all of which could impact import levels significantly.
