The forecast data for broilers chicks for fattening imports to the UK shows a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028. The import value is projected to increase annually from 58,860 thousand heads in 2024 to 69,620 thousand heads by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 4.2% over five years. Notably, the projected year-on-year increments suggest a consistent demand growth for broiler chicks in the UK market.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of trade policies post-Brexit on poultry imports.
- Changes in domestic production capabilities affecting import demand.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards more sustainable and locally sourced products.
