In 2023, the actual production of sunflower-seed oil in the UK was lower than 35.36 million kilograms. Forecasts indicate a steady decline over the next four years, with the production expected to decrease from 35.36 million kilograms in 2024 to 19.638 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a declining trend with a significant decrease in annual production year-on-year.

Key future trends to watch for include:

Potential influences of climate change on sunflower crop yields.
Shifts in consumer preferences and dietary trends that could impact demand for sunflower-seed oil.
Innovation and alternative oils entering the market, possibly influencing production decisions.
Economic factors and trade policies affecting import/export dynamics and competitive pricing.
