In 2023, the import of prepared or preserved sweet corn to the UK stood at 75.6 million kilograms. Forecasted growth from 2024 projects an increase to 80.824 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year percentage variations show a steady upward trend with a consistent growth rate each year. Notably, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is modest, reflecting stable demand.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards locally sourced produce, impacting import volumes.
- Changes in trade policies and tariffs post-Brexit affecting cost and supply chains.
- Environmental factors influencing global sweet corn supply and affecting UK imports.
