In the forecast from 2024 to 2028, the import of salted, in brine, dried or smoked pig meat to the UK is on a declining trend. Starting at 136.07 million kilograms in 2024, we see a steady decrease each year, reaching 110.14 million kilograms by 2028. Comparatively, UK pig meat imports stood at 142.90 million kilograms in 2023, indicating a downward trajectory. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows a negative trend, averaging a decrease of about 5% annually.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of Brexit-related trade negotiations, shifts in domestic production, and consumer preferences towards alternative protein sources that may further influence these import volumes.
