The import of non-plasticised polyvinyl chloride mixed with any other substance in primary forms to the UK is expected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, dropping from 13.866 million kilograms in 2024 to 11.402 million kilograms in 2028. In 2023, the import stood at 14.5 million kilograms, highlighting a consistent reduction over the forecast period. Year-on-year, the import volume is predicted to decrease, with percentage reductions for each successive year. Over these five years, the compound annual growth rate indicates an overall average decrease, reflecting a downturn in import volumes.
Future trends to watch include potential changes in domestic production, shifts in demand due to environmental regulations, and developments in alternative materials which could further impact import levels. Additionally, trade policies following geopolitical shifts, such as Brexit, may influence future import volumes and strategies.
