In the United Kingdom, the demand for sunflower seeds from 2024 to 2028 is projected to remain steady at 33.0 thousand metric tons annually, showing no year-on-year percentage variation. In 2023, this demand was also at 33.0 thousand metric tons, indicating no change over these years in both absolute and average annual terms. This stability suggests a flat compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential market shifts due to changes in consumer health trends favoring plant-based diets could impact demand.
- Geopolitical factors affecting imports and local agricultural policies could alter supply dynamics.
- Innovations in food processing and demand for sunflower by-products might create new market opportunities.
