The forecast for goat meat imports to the UK shows a consistent year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 265.31 thousand kilograms in 2024, imports are expected to decrease steadily each year, reaching 224.56 thousand kilograms by 2028. This trend reflects an average annual decline of approximately 4% over this five-year period. In 2023, actual import data were slightly higher than the forecast for 2024, indicating that this declining trend has begun recently.
Looking ahead, key trends to watch include changes in consumer preferences and dietary trends in the UK, which might impact the demand for goat meat. Additionally, trade policies, climate impacts on farming, and shifts in global goat meat production could further influence import volumes in the future.
