The UK is projected to see a steady rise in the import of prepared meals and dishes based on pasta from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the volume was at a certain baseline, and with a year-on-year growth rate, the import is expected to increase annually by about 2-2.5%. By the end of the forecast period in 2028, imports could reach around 281 million kilograms. Over these five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averages to a consistent increase, indicating a robust demand in the UK market for such products.
