In recent times, the somewhat traditional milk and dairy beverages category has experienced a significant transformation. High levels of NPD have created new and exciting sectors within the market and strong marketing support for these new lines has led to considerable sales growth in certain areas. Even the mature and longdeclining milk market has seen a return to value growth in recent years as more highly-priced, value-added products are developed.
In the area of health, there has been particular strength, with one-shot functional milk drinks having become one of the fastest-growing sectors in the international food and drinks market. Similarly, functional milks and yoghurt or milk drinks with added health benefits are now a common sight in the dairy cabinet. The other significant step forward for dairy beverages has been the provision of more convenient packaging formats, allowing these drinks to compete more effectively with other on-the-go soft drinks.
