In 2023, the import of non-electric self-propelled works trucks to the UK stood at approximately 17.5 thousand units. Between 2024 and 2028, a consistent decline is forecasted, decreasing from 16.38 thousand in 2024 to 12.0 thousand by 2028. This signifies a downward trend with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -5.5% over the five-year period. Year-on-year variations show a progressive decrease, highlighting a 6.9% drop from 2024 to 2025, followed by similar declines in subsequent years.
Future trends worth monitoring include the impact of technological advancements and automation on market demand, potential changes in trade policies post-Brexit, and economic factors influencing construction and manufacturing sectors that heavily utilize such equipment.
