The forecast for the import of frozen sheep carcasses and half carcasses to the UK shows a declining trend from 89.25 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 78.84 thousand kilograms in 2028, indicating a noticeable decrease in demand or changing market dynamics. In 2023, the import volume was higher than any subsequent forecasted year, reflecting a contraction in this segment.
Year-on-Year percentage variations from 2024 to 2028 suggest a steady decline, aligning with broader trends possibly due to local production increases, consumer preference changes, or trade policy adjustments. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) indicates a persistent decrease per year over this period.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of post-Brexit trade policies, shifts in consumer preferences toward local or alternative protein sources, and any fluctuations in global supply levels that could influence the UK's import volumes.
