Between 2024 and 2028, the UK's import of fresh or chilled boneless sheep cuts is projected to rise steadily from 10.325 million kilograms to 11.364 million kilograms. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.4% over five years. As of 2023, the actual import volume was slightly lower, indicating a consistent upward trend in the forecast data.

Key trends to monitor in the future include:

Potential changes in consumer preferences towards alternative meats or plant-based diets.
Impact of import regulations and trade agreements post-Brexit.
Fluctuations in global sheep meat supply and prices due to climate change impacts on agricultural production.
