In 2023, the import of grated or powdered cheese to the UK stood at 12.310 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted data indicates a gradual increase in imports, reaching 12.579 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year growth is steady, with slight increments between 0.44% and 0.45% each year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is approximately 0.43%, reflecting a marginal increase in demand.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of trade policies post-Brexit, changes in consumer preferences towards plant-based alternatives, and fluctuations in dairy prices due to global economic factors. Monitoring these elements will be crucial for adapting strategies in the cheese import sector.
