In 2023, the import of phosphoric acid and polyphosphoric acids to the UK stood at 54.256 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, imports are forecasted to decline steadily, with a projected final volume of 29.258 million kilograms in 2028. The year-over-year variations reflect a consistent decline: -10.45% in 2025, -11.42% in 2026, -12.62% in 2027, and -14.14% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is -11.15%, indicating a notable downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in industrial demand, changes in international trade agreements, and the impact of technological advancements on production efficiency that may influence import volumes. Environmental regulations and alternative chemical use could further affect these forecasted numbers.
