In 2023, the actual volume of fresh cherry imports to the UK stood at 15.678 million kilograms. Forecasts from 2024 through 2028 indicate a gradual decline in imports, with volumes expected to decrease each year. The year-on-year percentage change shows a stable downward trend with small decreases annually. Over the next five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reveals a modest average annual decrease, underscoring a consistent reduction in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of domestic cherry production on import demands.
- Potential shifts in consumer preference affecting fruit demand.
- Trade policy changes post-Brexit influencing import logistics and costs.
