The re-import of footwear with outer soles of rubber and textile uppers to the UK is set to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the volume stood at 23.50 thousand kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, the year-on-year growth shows a modest increase, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4.46% over five years. This indicates a consistent demand for such footwear products.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards more sustainable or eco-friendly materials could affect demand.
Trade policy changes, including tariffs or trade agreements post-Brexit, could influence re-import volumes.
Technological advancements in production might impact the cost-effectiveness of re-importing footwear.
