In 2023, the re-import volume of sweetened cocoa powder to the UK stood at an unreported baseline figure. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates an upward trend, with values starting at 17.71 thousand kilograms in 2024 and reaching 20.83 thousand kilograms by 2028. This reflects an annual increase, with year-on-year growth rates of approximately 4.52% from 2024 to 2025, and progressively smaller increases thereafter, peaking at a five-year CAGR of about 4%.

Looking forward, several trends are noteworthy:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier options could influence market dynamics.
Trade policies and Brexit impacts could alter import figures.
Technological advancements in production and sweetening alternatives may affect supply chain efficiencies and costs.
