The import of wheat gluten to the UK is projected to experience a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting with 29.758 million kilograms in 2024, imports are expected to decrease yearly by approximately 1.6% on average. Historically, in 2023, the imported volume stood at a level slightly above the 2024 forecast. The downward trend suggests a diminishing need or a shift in sourcing strategies or consumption patterns in the UK.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in domestic wheat gluten production capabilities.
Emerging health and dietary trends affecting wheat gluten consumption.
Trade policy changes post-Brexit impacting wheat gluten imports.
Potential substitutes or innovations in alternative proteins and gluten products.
