The import of machinery to impregnate textiles and make linoleum to the UK is forecasted to show a decreasing trend from 2024 through 2028, with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around -1.2%. This indicates a gradual decline in demand for such machinery imports over the period. Without the actual data for 2023, it would be prudent to assume it is relatively higher than the forecasted figures for subsequent years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in domestic textile machinery, potentially reducing import dependency.
Shifts in UK trade policies post-Brexit that might affect import tariffs and costs.
Increased focus on sustainable practices in textile manufacturing, influencing machinery requirements.
