In 2023, the sold production of milk and cream with a fat content exceeding 21% in immediate packings of not exceeding 2 liters in the UK was valued at 220 million euros. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts show a steady annual increase, with values rising from 222.09 million euros in 2024 to 229.99 million euros in 2028. The year-on-year growth rate averages around 0.90% for the forecast period, indicating a consistent upward trend. Future projections suggest a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.87% from 2024 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of dietary shifts as consumers increasingly opt for plant-based alternatives, which could influence the demand for high-fat dairy products.
Potential regulatory changes regarding packaging and fat content that may impact production requirements.
Continuing innovations in dairy production and packaging technology which could affect production efficiency and cost.
