In 2023, the re-import volume of aircraft parts to the UK was approximately 118.70 thousand kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, a declining trend is forecasted with annual values decreasing significantly from 94.11 in 2024 to 10.31 by 2028. Year-on-year percentage changes indicate a consistent downward trajectory:
- 2024 to 2025: -22.96%
- 2025 to 2026: -29.16%
- 2026 to 2027: -40.35%
- 2027 to 2028: -66.33%
The five-year CAGR is projected to be approximately -46.78%, marking a substantial average annual decline.
Future trends to watch for include potential advancements in domestic aircraft part manufacturing, changes in trade policies affecting import dynamics, and shifts in global aerospace supply chains that could impact the UK’s re-import needs. Furthermore, technological advancements and sustainability concerns may prompt shifts towards more recyclable components, potentially altering demand for imported parts.
