United Kingdom: Food Processing Ingredients Annual
The United Kingdom's (UK) food manufacturing sector faces a challenging landscape, with cost increases projected to reach 2.9 percent in 2025. In response, manufacturers are strategically focusing on new product development to capture market share and cater to evolving consumer demands for healthier choices. Key trends anticipated for 2025 include products with reduced sugar content, bold and spicy flavor profiles, and innovative products of melon-inspired ingredients. On October 1, 2025, new regulations targeting products high in fat, sugar, and salt (HFSS) will take effect, prohibiting volume-based pricing strategies and restricting advertising on television and online before 9:00 PM. In addition, an increased sugar tax will impact the pricing of high-sugar beverages, encompassing soft drinks, sweetened coffees, and milkshakes.
