The forecast for the import of prepared or preserved fruit mixtures to the UK indicates a gradual decline from 26.871 million kilograms in 2024 to 26.206 million kilograms in 2028. When compared to 2023, where the imported volume stood at approximately 27.0 million kilograms, the figures suggest a slow yet consistent downward trend. Year-on-year variation shows a decrease of around 0.6% annually, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.72% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards fresh and locally sourced produce, which may further impact import volumes. Additionally, trade policies and global supply chain disruptions could affect the availability and costs of imported fruit mixtures, influencing these forecasted trends.
