CGNAT isn't quite common here yet - pretty sure there's only been a few ISP's running opt-out trials (e.g. BT)You're in the UK, are you sure you arent' already behind CGNAT?

Better than nothing
Yeah, for sure. We'll see where we're at in three months or so, my guess is that we'll be depleted at that point.Better than nothing
I'm waiting to see what happens to all the OVH heavy hosts.

Pretty sure I saw on nanog that ARIN was supposed to get a /12 or /13 from the next returning of space.
That's pretty good.
It's pretty hilarious if you notice LACNIC makes a mad dash over the line to get things OK again.
AFRINIC having a major drop like that is fully expected. Expect to see a lot of hosts setting up South African offices (be it virtual or otherwise) just to apply for space.
As @rds100 said there's going to be legacy block returns that will liven up each RIR a little bit, but there's no guidelines on how much that is. Anyone with IANA space would be stupid to return it just because of the value of it.

Likely. There has been a huge spike in IP demand from residential ISP's in the past few months.
