In 2023, the import of whole milk and cream powder to the UK stood at a certain volume, with forecasted declines from 2024 to 2028. From 2024 to 2025, there is an anticipated year-on-year decrease of approximately 1.61%. In subsequent years, the trend persists, with further reductions of around 1.61% in 2026, and downward adjustments of 1.60% in 2027, finally reaching 1.60% in 2028. This consistent downward trend represents a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -1.61% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based alternatives, fluctuations in global dairy production, and changes in trade policies post-Brexit that could influence import levels.
