Forecast: Import of Nonwovens Textiles Except Felt to the UK

In 2023, the UK's import of nonwovens textiles, excluding felt, reached a value of 126.35 million kilograms. The forecast for 2024 predicts a decrease to 122.92 million kilograms, continuing a downward trend that reduces the import volume annually through 2028, reaching 109.62 million kilograms. Year-on-year, the imports are expected to decline at rates averaging 2.79% throughout the forecasted period, reflecting a consistent decline in demand or production conditions. Over the five-year span, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a reduction of import volume by approximately 3.48% per annum.

Future trends to watch include the impact of sustainable practices and technology advancements in the textile industry, which may influence production and consumption patterns. Furthermore, economic conditions, post-Brexit trade relations, and evolving trade policies will be significant factors affecting the UK's importation of nonwovens textiles.
