As of 2023, the UK imported approximately 83.0 thousand metric tons of eggs. The forecast indicates a gradual decline in import volume over the next five years, with projections showing a decrease to 82.0 thousand metric tons in 2024, further decreasing each subsequent year to 76.0 thousand metric tons by 2028.
The year-on-year changes suggest a steady reduction in import volumes ranging around 1.2% to 2.5%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2024-2028 period highlights an average decline of approximately 1.8% per annum.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from changes in domestic production capacity, alterations in trade agreements following Brexit, and shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative or more sustainable food sources. These factors could influence the demand and supply dynamics in the UK egg market.
