In 2024, the demand for tomatoes in the United Kingdom is forecasted at 913,000 metric tons, indicating a gradual decline observed in the following years, with a reduction to 905,000 metric tons by 2028. This signifies a minor year-on-year decrease and a slight cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) decline over the five years from 2024 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for include:

Consumer preference shifts towards locally grown or organic produce potentially affecting import demands.
Climate change impacts on domestic tomato production and supply chain disruptions.
Changes in trade policies post-Brexit affecting import levels and pricing strategies.
