Forecast: Import of Bituminous Mixtures Based on Natural and Artificial Aggregate and Bitumen or Natural Asphalt As a Binder to the UK

The forecast for the import of bituminous mixtures into the UK from 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend, starting at 34.036 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing gradually to 27.463 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a continuous year-on-year percentage decrease. When considering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR), the data suggests a consistent downward trajectory over the forecast period. In comparison, data from 2023 is crucial to assess the true variance and establish this decline from actual data to projections.

Future trends to watch include the impact of governmental policies on infrastructure development, advances in sustainable material technology, and any fluctuations in international trade agreements which could influence the volume and cost of these imports to the UK. Additionally, shifts toward more eco-friendly construction practices could further affect import volumes of traditional bituminous mixtures.
