The forecast for liquid UHT milk consumption by households in the UK shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, moving from 4.21 milliliters per capita per week in 2024 to 3.52 milliliters in 2028. Compared to 2023, a decrease is evident. Year-on-year, the consumption is set to fall by approximately 4% in each subsequent year. Over the entire forecasted period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average annual decline.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based milk alternatives, economic factors affecting dairy product pricing, and potential government policies focusing on sustainability and healthy consumption patterns. These factors could further influence the downward trend in UHT milk consumption.
