Pasteurised
The way in which we publish consumer data from TNS has changed. To provide more useful data, we have split TNS information into the following sections:
- Overview of consumer liquid milk market
- Pasteurised (excl. modified)
- Modified milk
- Filtered milk
- Organic
- Soya
- J&G (Jersey & Guernsey)
- Retail and doorstep
Each page will give a snapshot of the market in terms of volume and expenditure.
Latest TNS data for the 52 weeks ending 13/07/08 shows that sales of pasteurised milk (excluding modified milk) stood at 4,105.3m litres, 24.4m litres (0.6%) more than the previous year. Over the same period, whole milk sales fell by 19.4m litres (1.9%) to 999.9m litres. Skimmed milk has shown the biggest relative year on year increase (4.1%), or 19.1m litres to 479.9m litres. Semi-skimmed milk sales also showed some year on year growth, up by 24.7m litres (1.0%) to 2,625.5m litres.
Expenditure is also up compared to the previous year, by 12.9% (£294.1m) to £2,580.3m. Whole milk expenditure increased by 10.0% to £631.3m, with semi-skimmed milk increasing by 13.5% (£195.3m) to £1,641.7m. Skimmed milk increased by the highest margin, up by 15.6% (£41.6m) to £307.4m.

Notes to Data
- The tables on this sheet show the expenditure, volume, and average price of liquid milk sold in Great Britain over the last 52-week period. Please note that the price differentials for different fat levels of milk are probably due to different purchase pack size trends. A degree of caution needs to be taken with these figures as with all market data.
- % changes will differ slightly from the information in the tables. This is because changes were taken from raw figures and are therefore not subject to changes caused by rounding.
- All % changes are based on year on year change.
