The import of prepared or preserved lobster to the UK is projected to increase steadily over the next five years, from 346.45 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 401.91 thousand kilograms in 2028. This forecasted growth reflects a consistent year-on-year increase in import volume. In 2023, the actual import volume stood at a lower level compared to the projected 2024 figure.
The year-on-year growth percentage suggests a robust upward trend, with the average annual Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) further emphasizing a positive trajectory. This trend highlights a growing demand for lobster imports in the UK market.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from trade policies, changes in consumer preferences towards seafood, and any supply chain disruptions that could affect the availability and pricing of lobster imports.
