From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted import volume of woven fabrics of true hemp, ramie, or other vegetable textile fibers or paper yarn to the UK shows a gradual decline. Specifically, the volume decreases from 479.53 thousand square meters in 2024 to 473.01 thousand square meters in 2028. This indicates a negligible year-on-year decrease in import volumes, though at a consistently small rate.
Prior to this forecast period, it is important to note that in 2023, the import value stood at a different level, emphasizing the start of this projected downward trend.
Looking ahead, trends suggest that the pressures of evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable materials, regulatory impacts, and uncertainties in global trade dynamics will shape future import levels. Industry stakeholders should monitor developments in sustainability trends and trade policies as potential influencers on demand.
