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.
