In 2023, the import of apples, pears, and quinces to the UK was approximately valued at 605 million USD. The data from 2024 onwards predicts a steady annual decrease, with figures reaching 591.88 million USD by 2028. Over the past years, this represents a subtle decline, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) showing a slight negative trend.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impacts of local production and changing consumer preferences towards domestic produce.
- Brexit implications and trade agreements affecting import tariffs and costs.
- Potential disruptions in global supply chains affecting availability and pricing.
