The forecasted sweeteners export volume for the United Kingdom shows a gradual decline from 978 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 934 thousand metric tons in 2028. Compared to the previous actual figures from 2023, the year-on-year export volume is expected to decrease, with the average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting a consistent negative trend. As of 2023, the baseline is set before the gradual decline starts.
Future trends to watch include:
- The influence of potential regulatory changes on sugar and sweetener consumption globally.
- The impact of health trends pushing demand towards natural sweeteners versus artificial ones.
- Currency fluctuations affecting export competitiveness.
- Shifts in international trade relations and tariffs post-Brexit.
