In 2023, the import volume of jams, fruit jellies, and fruit or nut purees and pastes to the UK was approximately 64 million kilograms. The forecast data suggests a gradual increase over the next five years, with imports reaching around 69.275 million kilograms by 2028. This indicates an annual compound growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.6% from 2024 to 2028.
The year-on-year variations show a steady increase, reflecting a consistent rise in demand or reliance on imports. Key trends include:
- Growing consumer preference for natural and fruit-based products.
- Fluctuations in domestic production due to climatic conditions may impact reliance on imports.
- Potential impact of trade policies and tariffs on import costs.
