The forecast for the UK's sold production of cheese and curd indicates a consistent upward trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 833.6 million kilograms in 2024 and increasing to 887.4 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a steady annual growth rate. In 2023, the production stood at a lower level, showing a clear year-on-year increase in subsequent years.
Future trends to watch for:
- The impact of evolving dietary preferences and health trends on cheese consumption.
- Potential shifts due to trade policies post-Brexit that could affect production and supply chains.
- The role of sustainability practices in cheese and curd production and their influence on consumer preferences.
