Strong penetration of organized retail channels fueling the market growth

  • In the United Kingdom, the off-trade distribution channel is the primary channel through which dairy products are more consumed in the country. Of all the sub-types of the off-trade channel, supermarkets and hypermarkets are the major channels. The growth of these retail formats, along with factors like business expansion and the increase in supermarkets and hypermarkets, positively impacted the dairy products market in the United Kingdom. As of 2022, Tesco has a total of 2,823 supercenter stores throughout the country.
  • Different supermarket and hypermarket chains, like Tesco, Sainsbury, Asda, Morrisons, and Lidi, offer loyalty benefits to retain consumers. Tesco and Sainsbury's had the largest share, with a 43% share of the grocery market in 2021.
  • The United Kingdom is the leading market in Europe when it comes to online shopping. Online retail stores as a sales channel are gaining popularity across the country. In 2021, the overall revenue of e-commerce in the United Kingdom reached a total of USD 156 billion from USD 135 billion in 2020.
  • In 2020, there was a sudden fall in the growth trend of dairy products for the on-trade distribution channel in the United Kingdom due to the decline in the demand for foodservice channels. Post-COVID-19, the market has witnessed a speedy recovery. This is due to the increasing frequency of restaurants offering various ethnic foods, such as Asian, American, Chinese, Japanese, and Thai cuisines, coupled with a growing expat population. Spending on restaurants and cafes in the United Kingdom reached USD 111.34 billion in 2021 compared to USD 78.16 billion in 2020.
