Current Market Landscape of Dairy and Non-Dairy Drinks

The dairy drinks market has sought to reassure consumers about health, with functionality and environmental claims becoming more detailed. The dairy alternatives market has seen oats and sustainability claims continue to flourish, while shelf-stable formats and no-added-sugar claims are emerging.

  • 62% of UK milk consumers say it’s worth paying more for cow’s milk with a sustainable farming guarantee.

 

Dairy and Non-Dairy Drinks Market Trends in the Next Two Years

Dairy brands will need to keep prices in check to reaffirm their role in providing affordable nutrition for the masses. Brands will continue to compete for new occasions for their products beyond coffee, and the interest in direct-to-consumer (DTC) will force companies to promote better personalisation.

 

Dairy and Non-Dairy Drinks Market Trends in Five Years and Beyond

The dairy and non-dairy market and future trends follow a new focus on targeting kids despite challenges, and lab-grown milk will disrupt both dairy and non-dairy, and both milk and plant-based brands will have to offer ‘hybrid milk’ to compete. The dairy and non-dairy market will also need to clarify their impact on healthy gut microbiota.

Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.

When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.

The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.

Ben Zeidler, Director - Research and Analytics, Tenth Wave

We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.

They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.

We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.

By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.

For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.

Virginia Harvey, Secondary Research Manager, Epsilon

Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.

It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.

Pauline Robson, Managing Partner, Mediacom

There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.

However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.

Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus
