The forecast for the UK import of fresh or chilled celery from 2024 to 2028 shows a slight decreasing trend. The values, expressed in million USD, start at 30.956 in 2024 and gradually decline to 30.131 by 2028. The year-on-year decline is low, around 0.7% to 0.8%, indicating a stable but slightly decreasing demand. As of 2023, the imports were around 30.956 million USD, suggesting a consistent import value prior to the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted years indicates a marginal decrease.
Future trends to watch include shifts in consumer preferences toward locally grown produce, potential impacts of trade policies post-Brexit affecting import costs, and fluctuations in the currency exchange rates which could affect purchasing power and competitiveness of celery imports.
