The forecast for the sold production of milk and cream with a fat content not exceeding 1% in immediate packings over 2 liters in the UK indicates a consistent decline. In 2023, the actual production stood at approximately 369 million kilograms. For the upcoming years, production is expected to decrease year-on-year by about 2.97% from 2024 to 2025 and maintain a similar declining trend through 2028 with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of -3% over the five-year period.

Future trends to monitor include:

Changes in consumer preferences towards alternative dairy products or higher fat options.
Technological or regulatory developments impacting dairy production efficiency or demand.
Evolving health trends that might influence lower fat milk consumption.
