The forecasted re-import of handbags with outer surfaces of plastic sheeting or textile materials to the UK shows a gradual decline from 2024 through 2028. As of the end of 2023, the actual data indicated a higher import value. From 2024, values steadily decrease from 17.14 to 16.63 thousand, representing a year-on-year decline of approximately 0.76% on average.
