The data illustrates a gradual increase in the UK's import of fresh or chilled whole chickens from 2024 to 2028, starting at 45.425 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 46.39 million kilograms by 2028. The forecasted year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2025 is approximately 0.55%, indicating modest expansion. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is projected to be around 0.53%. Notably, by the end of 2023, the import value stood at 45.2 million kilograms, highlighting a consistent upward trend.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from trade agreements, shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based proteins, and changes in agricultural policies that might affect import volumes. These factors could significantly influence future import levels.
