Between 2024 and 2028, the sold production of whey and modified whey in the UK is projected to decrease steadily, with values dropping from 86.331 million kilograms in 2024 to 80.524 million kilograms in 2028. Compared to 2023, when the production stood at around 88 million kilograms, the year-on-year decline ranges between 1.7% to 2%. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years indicates an average annual decrease of approximately 1.7%.
Future trends to watch for include potential market responses to this decline, such as increased focus on reducing production costs or exploring new markets to stabilize demand, alongside innovations in food technology which may alter consumption patterns of whey products.
