The forecast for the import of frozen boneless sheep cuts to the UK shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 15.321 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 13.284 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the volume was reportedly steady, highlighting a significant reduction over the coming years. The year-on-year percentage decrease averages at about 3.4% over this period.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential changes in UK trade policies post-Brexit that could affect import volumes.
- Shifts in consumer preferences that may influence demand for sheep cuts.
- Fluctuations in global sheep meat supply, particularly from major exporters, that could impact UK imports.
