In 2023, the import of live swine (except pure-bred breeding) weighing 50 kg or more to the UK was at a value of 46.5 million kilograms. The forecasted data from 2024 onwards shows a gradual increase, reaching 50.072 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year analysis from 2023 to 2024 indicates a projected growth of approximately 1.42%. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is predicted to be around 1.9%, suggesting steady growth in imports.
Looking ahead, future trends to monitor include changes in UK trade policy and agricultural tariffs following Brexit, potential disruptions from disease outbreaks within the swine industry, and evolving consumer demand for pork products, which could influence import volumes.
