The UK’s import of fresh or chilled Brussels sprouts is forecasted to decline from 6.0949 million kilograms in 2024 to 4.4906 million kilograms in 2028. Based on this data, this represents a consistent year-on-year decrease. Specifically, there is a 6.78% decrease in 2025, a 7.13% decrease in 2026, a 7.54% decrease in 2027, and a 7.97% decrease in 2028.
Looking at the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028, this reflects an average annual decline of approximately 7.31%. As of 2023, actual data showed import volumes higher than the forecasted figures for subsequent years, indicating a downward trend that is expected to continue.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards locally sourced produce, which could further affect import volumes. Additionally, trade agreements, domestic production increases, and environmental policies may have significant impacts on the import levels of Brussels sprouts in the coming years.
