In 2023, the turnover per employee in the UK’s meat and poultry industry stood at 203.2 thousand euros. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts suggest a gradual decline from 202.9 to 201.7 thousand euros. The year-on-year variation between 2024 and 2025 is a slight decrease of approximately 0.15%, indicating a modest but consistent downward trend of about 0.15% annually over five years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements improving process efficiency could stabilize or reverse declining trends.
- Brexit-related trade policy and labor market shifts influencing production costs and efficiency.
- Increased demand for sustainable and plant-based protein sources impacting the meat industry.
