In 2023, the UK's import of halogen derivatives of phenols or phenol-alcohols stood at an actual volume of 1.075 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a slight downward trend, with imports expected to decrease year-on-year by approximately 1.2% from 2024 to 2025, 1.2% from 2025 to 2026, 1.2% from 2026 to 2027, and approximately 1.2% from 2027 to 2028. Over this five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average annual decline of 1.2%.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in UK trade policies, innovations in alternative materials, and shifts in global supply chains, which may impact import volumes. Monitoring environmental regulations that could affect production and importation of chemical substances is also crucial.
