Flavoured_Milk_Free
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.

Cartons, such as Tetrapak, score consistently in all categories but are not as<br />
simple to recycle as plastic alternatives since they are formed by several<br />
