In 2023, the UK imported 19.5 million kilograms of skimmed milk powder with a fat content not exceeding 1.5% in immediate packings exceeding 2.5 kg. Forecasted imports for 2024 are 18.284 million kilograms, decreasing consistently to 13.688 million kilograms by 2028. This shows a year-on-year decrease of approximately 6.5% from 2023 to 2024, and a CAGR of 6.1% over the forecasted period. This trend reflects a declining demand or shifting trade dynamics in the UK.
Future trends to watch for:
- Changes in UK dairy consumption patterns and health trends.
- Impacts of Brexit-related trade policies on dairy imports.
- Shifts in global dairy production and exports influencing UK import strategies.
