The forecast for the UK's import of textile fabric used in paper-making, with a weight of 650 g/m2 or more, indicates a significant decline from 193,150 kg in 2024 to 60,790 kg in 2028. There is a consistent year-on-year decrease, with a notable contraction of 17.66% from 2024 to 2025 and a continued downward trend through 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during this period reflects a negative average annual change of approximately 25%.
Future trends to watch include shifts in global supply chain dynamics, advancements in alternative fabric technologies, and changes in UK paper-making processes that might influence fabric import needs. Environmental policies and economic factors could further impact this sector.
