In 2023, the UK's home-killed beef and veal production stood at approximately 907 thousand metric tons. The forecast for 2024 through 2028 indicates a steady increase in production, reaching 922.2 thousand metric tons by 2028. The yearly growth from 2024 to 2028 hovers around a modest, consistent rate, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period reflecting a gradual, stable increase in production.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative proteins, possibly affecting demand.
Regulatory changes impacting agriculture and livestock practices related to sustainability.
Economic factors influencing production costs and beef and veal pricing within the UK.
