As of 2023, the UK's import of dextrins and other modified starches stood at approximately 125 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 through 2028 indicates a slight year-on-year decrease in import volumes, averaging around 0.5% annually. By 2028, imports are expected to taper down to 121.74 million kilograms, signaling a gradual decline over the forecast period. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for this five-year period is marginally negative, suggesting a consistent but modest downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in domestic production capacity, evolving demand in key industries like food and pharmaceuticals, and the impact of sustainability initiatives on import patterns. Monitoring changes in international trade agreements and tariffs will also be crucial as they could influence import dynamics and costs.
