The forecasted data indicates a gradual decline in the export volume of mate and tea in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 20.85 thousand metric tons in 2024 and decreasing slightly each year to 20.4 thousand metric tons in 2028, the export volume shows a consistent downward trend. In 2023, the export volume was approximately 20.96 thousand metric tons. Year-on-year percentage changes reflect a minimal but steady decline, while the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years points towards a small negative growth in export volumes.
Future trends to watch for include factors such as global tea consumption patterns, potential shifts in trade agreements post-Brexit, and changes in consumer preference toward herbal teas and health-driven tea products. Additionally, sustainability and ethical sourcing are becoming increasingly important, which could influence UK’s export strategies and market reception internationally.
