The backdrop to the UK flavoured milk market is one of relentless change. The removal of the EU milk quotas, the transition by emerging economies to a Western-style diet, the upcoming introduction of the ‘sugar tax’ 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 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 in the future.

UK FLAVOURED MILK MARKET 2017 & BEYOND<br />

3.5.3 The future of own label flavoured milk<br />

Once sub categories have matured, own label is more likely. For now, in<br />

categories such as breakfast drinks and sports nutrition, brands have a clear<br />

‘breathing space’ before the own label volumes grow.<br />

Own-label is currently best suited at targeting a broad consumer base, such<br />

as traditional flavoured milk consumers. Brands who have the capacity to<br />

innovate for a specialist audience are able to develop value added categories,<br />

although this is likely to change as the flavoured milk sector evolves.<br />

3.6 Summary<br />

<strong>Flavoured</strong> milk continues to grow in value and volume<br />

• <strong>Flavoured</strong> milk growth surpassed white milk growth in value and volume.<br />

• The sectors value growth is stronger than volume growth.<br />

• Discounting by brands is reducing loyalty and value in the category.<br />

Product launches have been on the rise for the past 5 years<br />

• Low-sugar is important to watch (i.e. Emmi, Frijj and Arla).<br />

• Most core categories are developing high-protein variants (i.e. Mars,<br />

Weetabix, Dunn’s River Nurishment, Arla).<br />

• Coffee is an obvious area of focus.<br />

Traditional flavoured milk continues to dominate<br />

• Own-label compete with brands primarily in traditional flavoured milk.<br />

• Brands have room to innovate in the other categories: confectionery,<br />

coffee, breakfast and functional drinks.<br />
