The forecast for the import of Capsicum to the UK shows an upward trend from 2024 to 2028, with a consistent year-on-year increase. In 2023, imports stood at 15.5 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2025, the import volume is projected to rise by approximately 2.4%, with similar growth rates anticipated in subsequent years: 2.3% in 2026, 2.2% in 2027, and 2.1% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate over this five-year span is about 2.25%, indicating a steady growth trajectory in Capsicum imports.
Future trends to watch for include fluctuations in agricultural policy post-Brexit, changes in consumer demand due to dietary shifts, and potential impacts of climate change on supply chains, all of which could affect these projections in the coming years.
