The import of beer to the UK is forecasted to rise steadily from 2024 to 2028, with yearly values increasing from 666.46 million kilograms in 2024 to 753.1 million kilograms in 2028. This reflects a consistent annual growth trend, with the year-on-year percentage increase roughly around 3.35% for this period.
Assuming the import figures in 2023 were slightly lower, this steady rise indicates a growing demand for imported beer in the UK market. Over the last five years, the CAGR suggests a robust market expansion, driven by evolving consumer preferences and possibly demographic changes.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of economic conditions, changes in trade agreements, and shifting consumer preferences toward craft and specialty beers. Additionally, sustainability considerations in supply chains may influence import dynamics.
