Key Highlights

There are four main retailers with over 80% value share of retail distribution in the Dairy market in the UK. The remainder of the network is fragmented; however this leaves producers with little bargaining power.

Private Label products have a significant presence in the Dairy market in the UK ranging from just over 10% of Butter & Spreadable Fats to over two thirds of the Milk market. With the exception of one or two national brands in each category the remainder of the market is open for further penetration of Private Label, marketers of these smaller national brands need to differentiate their products so that they do not become a target for this competition.

Not only do a large proportion of UK consumers, in certain categories at least, highlight that specific consumer trends have an influence on their consumption, this translates into a significant proportion of actual value being directly influenced as well. Consumers are therefore acting on these trends enough to ensure that targeting them, in the right categories, is essential to success.
