In 2023, the UK imported 53.0 thousand metric tons of honey. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual annual increase in import volumes, starting from 54.0 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 57.0 thousand metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year growth rate is 1.85% from 2023 to 2024, stabilizing around 1.82% annually until 2028. Over five years, this results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.50% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch include the impact of changing consumer preferences towards natural sweeteners, potential trade policies post-Brexit affecting import tariffs, and the influence of climate change on domestic and international honey production, which may alter future import needs.
