Import volumes are expected to decrease from 57.54 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 36.66 thousand kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year percentage change indicates a continuous downward trend over this period, with the most recent data suggesting a deceleration in import volume growth. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reveals an average annual decline in imports over five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences, technological advancements in synthetic stone production, and macroeconomic factors affecting trade policies and currency exchange rates. These could influence the demand and import volumes of unworked or partly worked precious stones in the UK.
