In 2023, the UK imported grapefruit amounting to approximately 24.982 million kilograms, marking a historical data point before the forecasted decline. From 2024 to 2028, grapefruit import volumes are expected to decrease consistently. The year-on-year percentage change illustrates a downward trend, with a 5.18% decline from 2023 to 2024. The last two years, 2027 and 2028, show steady declines of 5.73% and 5.76% respectively. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is forecasted at -4.47%, highlighting a significant reduction each year.
Future trends to watch for include potential factors affecting imports such as trade policies, changes in consumer preferences towards grapefruit and other citrus fruits, and innovations in agricultural practices. Environmental impacts and supply chain resilience could also play significant roles in shaping import volumes.
