The UK's import of sports footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, and uppers of textile materials is forecasted to grow from 36.654 million kilograms in 2024 to 40.71 million kilograms in 2028, suggesting a steady upward trend. From 2024 to 2025, there is a year-on-year increase of approximately 2.85%, while the growth from 2025 to 2026 is around 2.72%. This consistent growth results in a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 2.67% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch include potential changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable materials, which may influence import volumes, and the impact of regulatory changes or trade agreements post-Brexit that could affect supply chains and import levels.
