The import of meat and poultry meat products to the UK is projected to decrease steadily from 240.29 million kilograms in 2024 to 218.39 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -2.4% from 2024 to 2028. The year-on-year decline in import volume begins with a 2.3% drop from 2024 to 2025, followed by a consistent decrease of about 2.4% each subsequent year.
Future trends to watch: The UK meat and poultry import market may be influenced by changes in domestic meat production, shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based diets, and potential trade policy changes post-Brexit. Additionally, the impact of global supply chain dynamics and potential tariffs could further affect import volumes and market behavior.
