The forecast for the import of vinyl polymers and halogenated olefins to the UK shows a steady increase from 2024 through 2028, starting at 12.112 million kilograms and rising to 13.101 million kilograms. If we assume the 2023 figure remained consistent with 2024, this represents a gradual year-on-year growth of approximately 2% per annum. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is anticipated to stabilize around this same percentage, indicating a consistent upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in trade policies post-Brexit, which may affect import volumes, and evolving demand driven by changes in industry applications for these materials, particularly in construction and manufacturing sectors. Additionally, any advancements in alternative materials could impact import growth.
