As of 2024, the forecast for the UK's import of milk with a fat content not exceeding 1% indicates an upward trend from 103.59 million kilograms in 2024 to 118.23 million kilograms in 2028. The consistent year-on-year increase suggests a stable demand, with the percentage increase steadily averaging around 3.4% annually. In contrast, actual import volumes were slightly lower in previous years, with 2023 serving as a baseline.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of trade policies post-Brexit which may influence import costs and regulations.
A shift in consumer preferences towards plant-based or alternative low-fat dairy products.
Economic factors such as inflation and fluctuations in currency exchange rates affecting import volumes.
