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.

Figure 4.5: Core consumer categories for the 0-14 years demographic<br />

This expected growth has implications for flavoured milk since there are two<br />

main core consumer categories that stem from this demographic<br />

.<br />

• School children (aged 4-14) who may consume flavoured milk in their<br />

lunchbox at school or at home as a treat.<br />

• Active children (aged 4 – 14) with high energy requirements through<br />
