The import of fresh or chilled garlic into the UK is forecast to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028, beginning with a volume of 30.151 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 31.191 million kilograms by 2028. This continuous increase reflects a modest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period. The import volume stood at 30.151 million kilograms in 2023.

Year-on-year variation is consistent, showcasing a gradual rise in import volume. The two-year trend projects more recognizably, aligning with the stable growth seen in the annual projections.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in global garlic production that could impact UK imports.
Trade policy shifts post-Brexit that may affect import patterns.
Consumer demand trends for fresh or chilled garlic due to health and culinary preferences.
