In 2023, the import of frozen swine cuts to the UK stood at a figure lower than the forecasted values for 2024 onwards. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady year-on-year increase, with imports expected to reach 119.73 million kilograms by 2028. This presents a consistent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years. Such projections indicate a sustained upward trend in demand or reliance on these imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential policy changes affecting trade and tariffs post-Brexit which could impact import costs or availability.
- Shifts in consumer demand towards alternative meats or plant-based options influencing overall swine import volumes.
- Fluctuations in global swine supply influenced by disease outbreaks or environmental challenges.
