In 2023, the UK imported 38.835 million kilograms of fresh or chilled beans. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual increase in imports, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.9%. The year-on-year growth rates are modest, reflecting a stable but slow-growing demand for these imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts on import volumes from Brexit-related trade adjustments, changes in consumer preference for locally sourced produce, and global supply chain dynamics. Additionally, environmental concerns and sustainability trends could influence the sourcing and import patterns of fresh beans. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for anticipating shifts in the import landscape.
