FREE-UK-Flavoured-Milk-Report-2016-2017
The backdrop to the UK flavoured milk market is one of relentless change. The removal of the EU milk quotas, the transition to a Western-type diet by emerging economies, the UK sugar debate and the booming sports nutrition industry are all aspects of change that create both challenges and opportunities for the UK flavoured milk market. HRA Food and Drink Marketing has developed this report as a map to guide industry stakeholders. Although volume growth in 2014 was slightly lower than in previous years, the flavoured milk market still has plenty of room for product innovation and development. Overall, we expect the UK flavoured milk market to continue to grow over the medium term, but not without improving its nutritional profile. The sugar debate reached new heights when, in October 2015, Public Health England released a document suggesting Government intervention in the form of a sugar tax (levy). As a consequence, product reformulation has become a priority for all serious players in the market.

Many consumers are concerned about the responsible sourcing of<br />
flavoured milk’s main ingredient: white liquid milk. With “farmgate” milk<br />
prices unsustainably low throughout 2015 and the retailer price wars still<br />
resulting in the use of milk almost as a ‘loss leading’ product, many <strong>UK</strong><br />
farmers are struggling. With growing media attention, more consumers<br />
are demanding a fair price for farmers for their milk.<br />

Morrison’s are paying attention <strong>Report</strong> to consumer Nowdemand for fair prices for<br />
farmers with their <strong>Milk</strong> for Farmers proposition. It remains to be seen how<br />
successful this will be and how consumer attitudes translate into<br />
behaviours. In time, this could perhaps apply to other dairy products but<br />
at the moment in flavoured milk this is a helpful but not essential part of<br />
the flavoured milk proposition.<br />
In time we expect to see consumers preferring flavoured milk that<br />
