The forecast for the UK's import of polishes, creams, and similar preparations used for footwear or leather indicates a gradual decline in volume from 1.3263 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.2129 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a projected year-on-year decrease, suggesting a decremental trend over these years.

In comparison, the actual import volume in 2023 was slightly higher, implying a continued downward trajectory over the forecast period.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential market shifts towards sustainable or alternative leather care products may influence imports.
Changes in consumer behavior, especially with increased digitalization of shopping, could impact demand.
Trade policies and economic conditions post-Brexit might further affect import volumes.
