The import of high-tenacity filament yarn of aramids to the UK is forecasted to decline steadily from 770.62 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 747.76 thousand kilograms by 2028. This trend suggests a consistent decrease, with a year-on-year percentage decline of approximately 0.76% from 2024 to 2025, and similar decreases in subsequent years.
