The UK's biomass import dependency ratio is forecasted to increase, from 35.3% in 2024 to 36.8% in 2028. In 2023, this ratio stood at 35%. The year-on-year increment is relatively steady, with a subtle growth pattern averaging around 0.4-0.5% each year. Over the course of the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a gradual rise.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential policy changes targeting renewable energy sources that could impact import dependency.
Technological advances in domestic biomass production that might alter dependency levels.
Volatility in international biomass markets affecting the UK's import levels.
