The import of dried peas, beans, lentils, or roots and tubers flour and meal to the UK stood at 14.0 million kilograms in 2023. The forecast indicates a steady increase in volume from 2024 through 2028, with an average year-on-year growth of approximately 3.0%. Specifically, the UK is expected to import 14.6 million kilograms in 2024, reaching 16.575 million kilograms by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2% over five years. The trend suggests growing demand for these products within the UK market.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential trade policy changes due to post-Brexit regulations could impact import volumes.
- Growing consumer preferences toward plant-based and gluten-free diets may further drive demand.
- Fluctuating agricultural yields globally could affect supply stability and import dependency.
