The forecast for the re-import of waste or scrap containing gold as the sole precious metal to the UK shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 11.46 kilograms in 2024, it drops to 5.12 kilograms by 2028. This data indicates a marked reduction in volumes re-imported over the forecasted years.
For 2023, the actual re-import quantity was higher than 11.46 kilos, though the specific value is not explicitly given. However, the outlook from 2024 onwards suggests a continuous downward trend. Year-on-year, this represents a significant decrease, with noticeable percentage drops each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates an average decline annually over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global gold markets, changes in recycling technology, or regulatory influences that could alter re-import patterns. Monitoring these factors is crucial for anticipating any deviations from the current declining trend.
