The import of prepared or preserved pears into the UK is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import volume stood at a higher level compared to 2024's forecast, marking the beginning of a downward trend. Year-on-year changes show decreases in volume, an indication of reduced demand or possibly increased domestic production. Over the last two years, this trend indicates a negative growth pattern, with each subsequent year experiencing a smaller import volume. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years reflects a continuous decrease.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences, the impact of trade policies, and innovations in local agricultural practices that might further influence these forecasts. Additionally, economic factors and geopolitical developments could alter trade dynamics, affecting import volumes.
