The import volume of concentrates of essential oils in fats to the UK is expected to show a slight upward trend from 2024 to 2028. The volume increases incrementally from 2024 with a consistent low-growth pattern observed annually, indicating stable demand. This growth in the importation volume is modest, increasing from 3.2339 million kilograms in 2024 to 3.2411 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year growth across these years indicates a marginal increase each year.
Looking ahead, key trends to keep an eye on include potential shifts in the global supply chain, changes in consumer demand for natural products, and any evolving trade policies post-Brexit that might impact importation volumes. Keeping an eye on sustainability trends which may influence the demand for essential oils and alterations trending within key industries that utilize these concentrates will also be vital.
