In 2023, the UK imported 203.9 million kilograms of sugar confectionery not containing cocoa. From 2024 onwards, forecasts show a consistent increase, with imports expected to reach 218.91 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year percentage growth for this period suggests modest increases each year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period (2024-2028) is approximately 1.2%, indicating steady growth.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of health trends on sugar confectionery imports, as consumers may shift preferences towards healthier snacks.
Trade policies post-Brexit, which may influence import regulations and costs.
Exchange rate fluctuations impacting import prices and total volume.
