Yoghurt & Other Dairy Product Processing in the UK

Changing consumer tastes and volatile ingredient prices have caused turbulence for dairy processors in recent years. Industry revenue is expected to dip at a compound annual rate of 0.5% over the five years through 2022-23 to £942.7 million. Price changes have also caused profitability to be volatile as cost pressures from supermarkets have limited dairy processors' ability to hike prices. Following the COVID-19 outbreak, demand from supermarkets partially offset a fall in demand from food service operators, but sales still dropped down in 2020-21. However, since then, the industry's on track for two consecutive years of growth, including an expected 1.4% in 2022-23
