The UK’s import forecast for fresh or chilled leeks shows a consistent decline over the period of 2024 to 2028. Starting at 10.233 million kilograms in 2024, imports are expected to decrease annually, reaching 9.1042 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023's actual imports of approximately 10.5 million kilograms, this reflects a downward trend. Year-on-year, imports are projected to contract with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggesting an annual decrease over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch include shifts in consumer demand potentially due to changing dietary preferences or economic factors such as tariffs and trade policies post-Brexit, which could further influence import volumes. Additionally, increased domestic production or alternative imports could reshape the market landscape.
