In 2023, the UK imported 53 million kilograms of aluminum hydroxide. Forecasts indicate a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with imports decreasing from approximately 51.8 million kilograms in 2024 to 41.7 million kilograms in 2028. This represents an average annual compound decline rate of approximately 5%.

Future trends to monitor include:

Shifts in global aluminum hydroxide production capabilities and trade dynamics.
Changes in UK regulations affecting imports of industrial chemicals.
Developments in alternative materials and technologies reducing dependence on aluminum hydroxide.
