In 2023, the import of shuttle type power looms for weaving fabric of a width exceeding 30 cm to the UK stood at a certain volume as a baseline. Forecasted data indicates a declining trend from 19.4 thousand kg in 2024 to 15.89 thousand kg by 2028. Year-on-year, there is a consistent decline reflecting a percentage decrease annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period shows a steady reduction in imports.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in textile manufacturing, which may affect import volumes, and global supply chain dynamics that may influence the UK's reliance on imported looms.
