Each subsequent year shows an average growth of around 2-3%, culminating in an estimated 5.35 billion US dollars by 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this five-year forecasted period stands at approximately 2.1%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of advancements in electric vehicle technology, possibly reducing demand for combustion engine parts.
- Trade policy changes post-Brexit, potentially affecting import tariffs and supply chains.
- Exchange rate fluctuations, which could influence the cost of imports.
