The forecast for the import of food preparations containing at most 18% cocoa butter and in packings exceeding 2 kg to the UK shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. The volume expected in 2024 is 8.0466 million kilograms, projected to rise to 8.5361 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the recorded volume was slightly lower, indicating a positive trend in imports. The year-on-year growth is observed with a consistent percentage, showing confidence in market stability and demand.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of post-Brexit trade policies on import tariffs, shifts in consumer preferences towards cocoa-based products, and global cocoa price fluctuations that may affect import decisions.
