The import of automatic washing machines with a dry capacity not exceeding 10 kg to the UK is forecasted to steadily increase from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual import volume stood at 215.00 million kilograms. From 2024, there is a consistent year-on-year increase of approximately 1.6% to 1.8%.

Future trends to watch for include:
