The forecasted import of ironing machines and presses, including fusing presses, to the UK shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028 in terms of volume, starting at 1.0677 million kg in 2024 and decreasing to 0.99262 million kg by 2028. This indicates a year-on-year reduction in imports, illustrating a consistent downtrend over the forecast period. Data from 2023 shows that the volume was higher before the projected decline began. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years shows a steady decline in average annual import volumes.
Key future trends to watch include technological advancements in ironing and pressing equipment that may reduce the need for imports, potential changes in UK manufacturing capabilities, and fluctuations in international trade policies that could impact the ease and cost of importing these machines.
