The forecast for the import of polyethylene glycols and other polyether alcohols in primary forms to the UK shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, beginning with 143.33 million kg in 2024 and reaching 148.59 million kg by 2028. As of 2023, the volume stood at an undisclosed figure. Year-on-year growth is calculated to be slightly above 1% each year for this period, implying a stable yet modest rise. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is consistent with this trend, reflecting moderate expansion over the medium term.
Future trends to monitor include potential shifts in global supply chains and raw material prices, which could alter import volumes. Additionally, changes in environmental policies and technological advancements in alternative materials could impact demand dynamics in the UK market.
