The import volume of dates into the United Kingdom is expected to increase from 24.0 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 25.0 thousand metric tons in 2025, maintaining a steady volume of 25.0 thousand metric tons through to 2028. In comparison to 2023, this represents a noticeable increment since the value for 2023 stands at 23.5 thousand metric tons. The year-on-year percentage change from 2023 to 2024 is approximately 2.1%. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is minimal, signaling a stable market.
Future trends to monitor include potential shifts in consumer preference towards health-conscious diets in the UK, which could influence date consumption positively. Additionally, trade policies and market access post-Brexit could impact import dynamics significantly.
