The UK import of frozen whole chickens is forecasted to decrease, with the volume reducing from 12.145 million kilograms in 2024 to 10.529 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a downward trajectory with a year-on-year decline averaging approximately 3.48% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of geopolitical factors, such as trade agreements or tariffs, that could affect import volumes.
- Changes in consumer preferences towards locally-sourced or alternative protein sources.
- Developments in agricultural policies and their effect on domestic poultry production.
