The re-import of non-medical apparatus using alpha, beta, or gamma radiation to the UK is expected to decline gradually from 2024 to 2028, with an average yearly decline of approximately 2.5% over this period. This trend indicates a steady decrease in the volume of such imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential technological advancements that may reduce the need for imports or changes in trade policies post-Brexit that could impact sourcing and cost. Monitoring the development of domestic capabilities in radiation-based apparatus could also alter these forecasts by reducing dependency on re-imports.
