The domestic extraction of biomass for food and feed in the UK is expected to gradually decline from 2024 to 2028, with values dropping from 129.9 million metric tons in 2024 to 129.54 million metric tons by 2028. This trend indicates a slight contraction in extraction activities, as evidenced by the year-on-year decrease in values. Comparing with the stable or possibly increasing levels reported in 2023, this forecast suggests a shift in approach or policy regarding biomass usage.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes affecting biomass extraction, technological advancements in agriculture, and shifts in dietary patterns which could impact demand. Additionally, sustainability initiatives and the push for reduced environmental impact may influence future biomass extraction rates.
