The import of fresh or chilled aubergines to the UK is anticipated to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028, with values increasing annually from $52.583 million in 2024 to $56.71 million in 2028. Assuming the imports at the end of 2023 were slightly lower, this shows a consistent upward trend. Year-on-year variations indicate a yearly growth around 2%. The five-year CAGR further supports this moderate growth trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include potential influences from trade agreements, changes in consumer preferences towards plant-based diets, and advancements in agricultural technology which may affect both the quantity and cost of imports.
