In 2023, the import of carpets of felt of textile materials with a minimum surface area of 0.3 m² to the UK stood at an actual value. Forecasts predict a gradual decline in import volumes from 16.511 million kilograms in 2024 to 16.142 million kilograms by 2028. This anticipated decrease reflects an average annual reduction when considering the compound annual growth rate over this period.

Future trends to watch include:

Potential shifts in domestic production capabilities for felt carpets.
Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally-sourced materials.
Global trade policies impacting the textile supply chain.
Technological advancements influencing production efficiency and carpet quality.
