In 2023, the UK imported approximately 1.40 million kilograms of textile fabrics coated with gum or amylaceous substances. The forecasts indicate a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with values predicted to rise from 1.4405 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.5964 million kilograms by 2028. This represents an expected average annual growth rate, or CAGR, of around 2.6% over the five-year period. Year-on-year increases are relatively consistent, suggesting stable demand.
Future trends to monitor include potential shifts in material innovation and sustainability initiatives, which may impact both the manufacturing and import markets. Additionally, any changes in trade policies or tariffs could also influence import volumes into the UK.
