As of 2023, the UK imported approximately 6 million kilograms of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) in primary forms. The forecast indicates a steady decline in imports from 2024, with values dropping from 5.8884 million kilograms in 2024 to 5.3526 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a gradual year-on-year reduction averaging around 2 to 3% annually. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows a downward trend.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts in manufacturing or environmental regulations affecting demand.
- The impact of technological advancements and substitute materials on PMMA usage.
- Trade and economic policies influencing import volumes.
