The forecast for the import of handkerchiefs and cleansing or facial tissues to the UK exhibits a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028, with volumes increasing from 26.162 million kilograms to 26.952 million kilograms. Compared to the 2023 figure of approximately 26 million kilograms, the rate of growth is modest, reflecting annual increases ranging from 0.77% to 0.82%. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is consistent, suggesting a stable market demand.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards more sustainable and eco-friendly tissue products, which could influence import volumes. Monitoring global supply chain dynamics and trade policies will also be crucial, as these can impact both price and availability of these imported goods.
