The UK import of fresh or chilled sardines, brisling, and sprats is forecasted to decline steadily from 143.0 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 141.09 thousand kilograms by 2028. This equates to a modest year-on-year decrease, with variations showing a consistent reduction each year. Compared to the actual data registered in 2023, this downward trend reflects a subtle yet ongoing reduction in import volume.
The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this five-year period suggests a gradual, slight decline in import volume, indicating a sustained but not drastic decrease over time. Future trends to consider include potential shifts in domestic supply, environmental regulations affecting fishing practices, and changing consumer preferences, which may influence import demands in the UK market.
