In 2023, the re-import value of derricks, cranes, straddle carriers, and crane trucks to the UK was a significant baseline. Forecasted data show a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Specifically, there is a year-on-year decrease of 14.9% from 2024 to 2025, 17.1% from 2025 to 2026, 20.3% from 2026 to 2027, and 24.9% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 indicates a negative average annual change of 20%. This trend suggests reduced dependency or demand over the forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in construction machinery that may influence re-import needs.
Trade policy changes post-Brexit that could impact import tariffs or trade agreements.
Domestic manufacturing growth in the UK, potentially reducing re-import needs.
