The import of lard stearin, lard oil, oleostearin, oleo-oil, and tallow oil to the UK is expected to rise steadily from 2024 to 2028, increasing from 15.577 million kilograms in 2024 to 17.506 million kilograms in 2028. Compared to a value of 15.0 million kilograms in 2023, this reflects positive growth. The year-on-year increase shows a consistent rise, averaging approximately 2.4% per annum.
In the future, the UK market should watch for factors affecting global production and supply chains, shifts in consumer demand, and regulatory changes on animal-derived products impacting import dynamics. Sustainability trends may also influence these imports significantly.
