As of 2023, the domestic material consumption of biomass for food and feed in the UK stood at an estimated 1.88 thousand kilograms per capita. Forecasts indicate a slight year-on-year decline, with volumes expected to decrease incrementally to 1.82 by 2028. The year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028 reflect a consistent downward trend, highlighting a CAGR of -0.6% annually over the five-year period. This suggests a gradual reduction in biomass consumption per capita in the country.
Future trends to monitor include potential changes in dietary preferences towards plant-based alternatives, advancements in agricultural technologies, and shifts in population dynamics, all of which could influence biomass resource demands and consumption rates.
