In 2023, the import of potato starch to the UK was a key figure before the forecast data begins, providing a baseline for trend analysis. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast data indicates a steady increase in the import volume of potato starch, rising from 63.654 million kilograms in 2024 to 64.194 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year growth shows a consistent and moderate increase, highlighting a stable upward trend without significant fluctuations. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) demonstrates a steady though modest upward trajectory in import volume.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of trade agreements or agricultural policy changes post-Brexit that may influence import volumes. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences towards gluten-free or alternative starch sources could also impact demand, as well as any advancements in domestic production capabilities affecting the reliance on imports.
