By 2024, the UK is expected to see a continuous rise in imports of fresh or chilled poultry cuts and offal, with an increase from the 2023 actual figures. Forecasts predict a steady growth in volume from 280.36 million kilograms in 2024 to 303.4 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year growth ranges around 2% yearly, indicating a stable demand. The five-year CAGR is similarly positive, reflecting healthy growth over this period.
Future trends to observe include:
- Consumer preference shifts towards sustainable and ethical poultry sources.
- Impact of potential trade agreements or tariffs on poultry import volumes.
- Shifts in domestic production capacity and its influence on import reliance.
