The data indicates a steady decline in the sold production of citrus fruit jams, marmalades, jellies, purees, or pastes in the UK from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 29.133 million kilograms in 2024, it is forecasted to decrease to 26.047 million kilograms by 2028. This represents year-on-year reductions averaging about 2.7% from 2024 through 2028. If the 2023 value is considered for baseline comparisons, a downward trend is apparent as the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a continuous negative growth pattern.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Consumer preferences shifting towards healthier and organic options.
- Potential impacts of trade agreements and tariffs on citrus fruit imports.
- Innovation in product offerings to revitalize market demand.
- Climate change affecting citrus production, possibly altering supply chains.
