In 2023, the United Kingdom's pulses import volume was approximately 105.0 thousand metric tons. The forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady increase in import volumes, with a projected rise from 107.0 to 113.0 thousand metric tons by 2028, marking an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 1.46% over the five-year period. Notably, there is a modest year-on-year increase of about 1.87% in 2025 and a consistent 0.91% growth rate in the subsequent years until 2028, reflecting a stable, albeit gradual upward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in trade policies post-Brexit that may affect import patterns.
Shifts in consumer dietary preferences towards plant-based diets possibly increasing pulses demand.
Impact of climate change on global pulses production and prices.
