In 2023, the UK imported approx. 7.29 million kilograms of figs. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady year-on-year growth ranging from 1.05% to 0.94% annually, eventually projecting an import volume of about 7.66 million kilograms by 2028. This consistent increase in fig imports reflects an anticipated Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of about 1% over these five years. This trend suggests a stable demand for figs in the UK market.
Future trends to watch for:
- Changes in consumer preferences, potentially increasing demand for exotic and healthy snacks.
- Potential impacts from trade agreements or tariffs affecting the cost and supply of imports.
- Increases in local production capabilities or developments in alternative fruit markets.
