This period follows a steady growth pattern with slight year-on-year increases, reflecting a stable demand in the market. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years indicates a moderate upward trajectory.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from emerging technologies in packaging, shifts toward sustainable materials, and changes in trade policies post-Brexit. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for anticipating market dynamics and import needs.
