Analysis of the UK per capita mutton and goat meat fat supply indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, beginning at 2.37 grams per day and reducing to 2.32 grams. Each year witnesses a slight reduction, averaging around a 0.5% decrease annually. Considering this trend from 2024 onwards, a compounding decline is observed, suggesting a consistent, albeit small, reduction in consumption rates over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Consumer shifts toward plant-based diets potentially accelerating the decline.
- Potential economic or policy influences affecting livestock production and meat consumption.
- Technological advances in food production that could introduce alternative protein sources.
