In 2023, the UK imported vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers amounting to approximately 4.4 million kilograms. From 2024, a declining trend is forecast with imports reducing from 4.0056 million kilograms in 2024 to 2.5992 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year decrease reflects progressive reductions of approximately 9% from 2024 to 2025, 9.7% from 2025 to 2026, 10.6% from 2026 to 2027, and approximately 11.6% from 2027 to 2028. Cumulatively, this translates to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -11.9% over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in domestic production capabilities, policy changes impacting import regulations, and global market dynamics influencing raw material availability and pricing.
