In 2023, the re-import value for plastic household and toilet articles to the UK, excluding table and kitchen items, was slightly below the 2024 forecast of 239.61 thousand US dollars. The data suggests a moderate year-on-year growth, with forecasts indicating successive increases up to 279.59 thousand US dollars in 2028. This reflects an approximate average annual growth rate of 3.2% across the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- A potential increase in plastic re-imports due to sustainability practices driving circular economies.
- Changes in UK trade policies post-Brexit may impact re-import costs and values.
- Shifts in consumer demand for more eco-friendly products could alter the landscape and demand for certain plastic goods.
