Between 2024 and 2028, the forecasted import of articles of cellulose fibre-cement or the like, not containing asbestos, into the UK shows a steady increase from 20.543 to 24.047 million kilograms. This showcases a consistent growth with a year-on-year escalation that can be approximated to a consistent average increase of about 4% annually over the forecast period. In 2023, the volume stood just below the forecasted 2024 figure, indicating a slight upward trend entering the forecast period.
- Future trends to watch include advancements in sustainable construction materials, which could drive demand for cellulose fibre-cement products. Additionally, UK regulatory changes that favor asbestos-free materials could further support this import volume growth.
