The forecast for the UK's import of base metals, silver or gold, clad with platinum, semi-manufactured but not further worked, shows a steady annual growth from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import stood at a lower point, indicating a positive upward trend moving forward. The year-on-year growth rates from 2024 through 2028 exhibit consistent increases, with the import volumes reaching 27.61 thousand kilograms by 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a healthy average increase over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from global economic fluctuations, changes in trade policies post-Brexit, and shifts in the demand for precious metals in the technology and green energy sectors. These factors could influence import volumes and need close monitoring to adjust strategies accordingly.
