United Kingdom: Food Processing Ingredients Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   UK2024-0011
The UK food ingredients sector is a thriving and competitive market, driven by changing consumer demands, technological advancements, and an emphasis on quality and safety. The food ingredients sector in the UK has a constant focus on innovation and provides many opportunities for U.S. exporters, including wellness and health products. Higher input costs have resulted in increased final prices, smaller pack sizes, and manufacturers sourcing lower-cost ingredients. Current trends include innovation, sustainable packaging, food with health benefits, and plant-based products. The UK climate limits growing seasons and products that can be grown, resulting in the UK importing over 40 percent of food products to meet consumer demand.
