The import of laminated safety glass for non-vehicle use to the UK is forecasted to witness a gradual decline from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, actual imports stood at 10.5 million kilograms. The anticipated year-on-year decline reflects small but consistent decreases: 1.7% from 2024 to 2025, 1.7% from 2025 to 2026, 1.7% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.7% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the 5-year span from 2024 to 2028 is projected at -1.7%, indicating an average reduction of 1.7% per annum.
Future trends to observe include potential changes in construction regulations which may increase demand for safety glass, technological innovations that could affect production or cost, and economic factors such as exchange rate fluctuations or trade policy shifts that might influence import volumes.
