UK Berries Market Analysis

The United Kingdom Berries Market size is estimated at USD 1.65 billion in 2023, and is expected to reach USD 2.18 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 5.74% during the forecast period (2023-2028).

  • The United Kingdom is primarily a marginal climate for commercial growers due to the lack of longer and more intense hours of sunlight. Despite this factor, some areas in the United Kingdom, such as Kent, Worcestershire, and Herefordshire, have a combination of soil and sunlight that make the growing of fruit trees, including berries, on a large scale. The country is also one of the major trade partners of berries.
  • Approximately 95% of UK-grown berries are purchased by the leading supermarkets, which also supply a large proportion of berries imported into the country. Angus Soft Fruits Ltd and BerryWorld are some of the leading suppliers of berries to the United Kingdom and European retailers. S&A Produce, Total Berry, and Rodanto are other major suppliers of berries in the United Kingdom.
  • Spain, Chile, and the Netherlands are a few major importers of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries from the United Kingdom. Spain is an upcoming importer of fresh berries, both for the internal market and re-export. Although Spain has increased its blueberry production in recent years, it still depends on the United Kingdom to meet its demand.

United Kingdom Berries Market Size Summary

The United Kingdom berry market is experiencing a notable expansion, driven by a combination of domestic production and strategic imports. Despite the challenging climatic conditions for commercial berry cultivation, regions like Kent, Worcestershire, and Herefordshire offer favorable soil and sunlight conditions that support large-scale berry farming. The market is predominantly supplied by major retailers such as Angus Soft Fruits Ltd and BerryWorld, which cater to both domestic and European markets. The UK's role as a significant trade partner is underscored by its exports of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to countries like Spain, Chile, and the Netherlands. The British blueberry season is particularly thriving, with increased plantation efforts to satisfy the growing demand for locally sourced fruit, contributing to the overall revenue growth in the berry sector.

Consumer preferences in the UK strongly favor homegrown strawberries, which dominate the berry market due to their popularity and nutritional benefits. Regions such as Kent, Sussex, and Wales are renowned for their strawberry production, benefiting from ideal growing conditions. The demand for locally grown produce is bolstered by the convenience of online retailing and the support for domestic growers, which also aids in reducing the environmental impact of food transportation. Initiatives like the sustainable farming scheme launched in June 2022 further enhance the market's growth prospects by promoting eco-friendly practices among berry farmers. The introduction of new varieties, such as the Victoria Sweet Blackberry, also reflects the market's dynamic nature and its responsiveness to consumer tastes.
