From 2024 to 2028, the UK's import volume of semiconductor devices, not light-sensitive or emitting, is projected to consistently decrease. Starting at 665.58 thousand kilograms in 2024, the forecast indicates a decline to 515.41 thousand kilograms by 2028. This reflects a concerning declining trend in the expected annual volume, with a consistent year-on-year reduction.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements potentially reducing the demand for non-light-sensitive semiconductor devices.
- Shift in global supply chains or trade relations impacting import volumes.
- Potential shifts in domestic production capabilities mitigating the need for imports.
