The forecasted data indicates a steady increase in household expenditure on fresh citrus fruits in the UK from 2024 to 2028, with values moving from 19.65 Pence Sterling per capita per week in 2024 to 20.87 in 2028. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is indicative of moderate growth, driven by slow but consistent yearly increases. In 2023, actual figures for household expenditure provide the baseline, showing a positive trend as the forecast suggests ongoing demand.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on citrus production, shifts in consumer preferences towards organic or health-focused foods, and economic factors such as inflation that could alter spending habits.
