As of 2023, the United Kingdom's pork import volume stood at approximately 1.03 million metric tons. The forecasted data for 2024 and beyond indicates a gradual increase in pork imports, rising from 1.04 million metric tons in 2024 to 1.07 million metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2025 is expected at around 0.96%, maintaining a trend of modest increases with a similar percentage growth in subsequent years. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is projected to be approximately 0.96%.
Future trends to watch include potential market dynamics such as changes in trade policies post-Brexit, shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based diets, and economic factors like exchange rates which may impact import volumes. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for understanding the trajectory of pork imports in the UK.
