In 2023, the UK's pulses imports stood at approximately 312.5 thousand metric tons. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady year-on-year growth with values increasing from 319.11 to 344.93 thousand metric tons, reflecting an average annual growth (CAGR) over the period of approximately 2.05%. The consistent increase suggests a rising demand for pulses, potentially driven by consumer dietary shifts towards plant-based proteins.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of trade policies post-Brexit, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainability, and potential disruptions in supply chains. These factors could influence import volumes and growth rates moving forward.
