The forecasted import of skimmed milk and cream powder to the UK from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline from 19.719 million kilograms in 2024 to 14.244 million kilograms in 2028. Although the data for 2023 is not provided, this descending trend indicates a year-on-year reduction ranging from approximately 7% to 9%. Over the last five years, including the forecasts, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is negative, reflecting a downtrend in import volume.
Key trends to watch for include shifts in domestic dairy production, changes in consumer preferences towards plant-based alternatives, and potential impacts of trade policies post-Brexit that could either amplify or mitigate the forecasted decline in imports.
