In 2023, the import of sorbitol to the UK was at 20 million kilograms. The forecast for subsequent years indicates a steady increase, reaching 20.681 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year variations show modest growth, with each year reflecting a slight percentage increase. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this five-year forecast period is anticipated to be steady, reflecting a calculated, gradual rise in demand.
Future trends to watch for include changes in the demand for alternative sweeteners driven by health trends, regulatory changes impacting imports, and global supply chain dynamics affecting availability and pricing of sorbitol in the UK market.
