The import of pigments, including metallic powders and flakes dispersed in non-aqueous media used in paints manufacturing to the UK, is forecasted for gradual decline from 4.7379 million kilograms in 2024 to 4.4565 million kilograms in 2028. This decrease represents an annual average decline of about 1.5% over the five-year period. In comparison, the volume was at 4.8 million kilograms in 2023 in actual figures.
Future trends to watch for:
