The forecast import volume of tea or maté extracts, essences, concentrates, and preparations to the UK shows a steady year-on-year increase from 3.2844 million kilograms in 2024 to 3.3138 million kilograms in 2028. This trend indicates a consistent, albeit modest, annual growth rate. In 2023, the volume of these imports was slightly less than the starting forecast value of 2024, emphasizing a stable growth trajectory.
Future Trends to Watch:
- Potential increases in demand for beverage innovations, which could raise import volumes.
- Trade policy changes post-Brexit that could influence import costs and sourcing strategies.
- Health and wellness trends impacting consumer preferences towards natural and organic tea products.
