The re-import of shotguns and shotgun-rifles for sport, hunting, or target shooting into the UK is forecast to see a steady increase over the next five years, beginning at $5.5972 million in 2024 and reaching $6.3595 million by 2028. Compared to 2023, this represents a consistent year-on-year growth, averaging around 3.19% annually. This reflects a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five years. Market drivers are likely to include increased leisure spending and growing interest in hunting and sport shooting activities, though regulatory changes and economic conditions could impact these projections.

Future trends to watch for:

Changes in UK import regulations and their impact on re-import volumes.
Shifts in consumer interest toward alternative recreational activities that could affect demand.
Economic factors such as currency fluctuations and trade agreements post-Brexit.
Technological advancements in firearm development and their influence on market preferences.
