The import volume of raw animal fats into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is projected to exhibit a declining trend over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028. With a baseline of 53.0 thousand metric tons in 2024, the import volume is expected to decrease steadily to 47.0 thousand metric tons by 2028. This suggests an average annual decline of 2.93% during the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changing consumer preferences towards plant-based fats could further reduce demand for animal fats.
- Environmental and sustainability concerns may impact import levels, encouraging local production.
- Trade policy changes due to post-Brexit adjustments could affect import volume.
