THE EUROPEAN LACTOSE-FREE MARKET <strong>2017</strong>/<strong>2018</strong><br />

§ Sales of Valio’s lactose-free products were initially promising. In 2001 one million<br />

litres of lactose-free milk were sold within the first two months of operation. Seventy<br />

million litres being sold in 2010. In 2012 net sales for the lactose-free range<br />

amounted to €150million 18 .<br />

§ More recently growth has slowed, the global over-supply of milk has led to poor<br />

export conditions, and imports have swamped the domestic Finnish market. 19<br />

§ Valio’s strength lies in R & D and innovative product launches. They have<br />

developed technology to remove lactose without leaving the sweet taste of glucose,<br />

appealing to those who desire fresh, white milk. Product launches include lactosefree<br />

latte flavoured milks, lactose-free milk powder and barista milk.<br />

5.1.3 LACTOSE-FREE DAIRY PRODUCTS IN THE MAINSTREAM<br />

“This is a delicious, lactose free, caramel and chocolate milkshake.”<br />

“How does it taste? It’s quite simply Mars milk. Forgive me for the lack of<br />

poetic description but as a lactose-intolerant, the fact that this merely<br />

exists is pure poetry in itself.”<br />
