As of 2023, the UK imported approximately 31.5 million kilograms of fresh, preserved, or cooked eggs. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady decline in imports, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -2.4% over this five-year period. Year-on-year variations show a consistent decrease of about -2.5% to -2.6% annually.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in domestic production capabilities that could influence import needs.
- Changes in trade agreements post-Brexit impacting egg importation.
- Consumer preference trends for locally sourced versus imported products.
