In 2023, the UK imported 68.5 million kilograms of worked granite. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decrease in import volumes, with a 0.86% average annual reduction over this period. The reduction suggests a consistent decline in imports year on year, with a decrease from 67.886 million kilograms in 2024 to 65.613 million kilograms by 2028, reflecting changing market dynamics.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in domestic supply capabilities or market demand affecting import volumes.
Changes in trade policies or geopolitical factors influencing the granite import market.
Increased focus on sustainable practices and material sourcing impacting traditional raw material demand.
