This represents a year-on-year increase of approximately 4.1% from 2024 to 2025, 3.9% from 2025 to 2026, 3.7% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.5% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate over this five-year period is around 3.8%. Data for 2023 is unavailable, so trend analysis is incomplete.
Future trends to watch for may include fluctuations in global market conditions affecting supply chains, technological advancements in metallurgy, and UK policy changes post-Brexit that could impact import tariffs and regulations.
