In the UK, the forecast for household expenditure on mutton and lamb meat from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline. Starting at 23.99 pence per capita per week in 2024, it decreases annually to 23.24 pence by 2028. This represents a steady annual decline, with the year-on-year percentage decrease ranging between 0.8% and 0.9%. Compared to 2023, there is a clear downward trend in consumer spending on these meats, reflecting changing consumer preferences or potential economic factors.
Future trends to watch include shifts in consumer dietary preferences towards alternative proteins and the impact of economic conditions on meat consumption. Additionally, environmental and ethical considerations might continue to influence consumer choices in the meat sector.
