Dairy Product, Egg & Edible Oil Wholesaling in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Slippery sales: Revenue is edging downwards, hit by rising health consciousness and supermarket pricing pressures

Dairy product, egg and edible oil wholesalers have faced challenging conditions because of changing consumer tastes and growing competition. Downward pricing pressures from supermarkets have threatened performance, as wholesalers have been forced to cut prices. Dairy and dairy product processors with integrated wholesale functions - like Arla Foods and Muller UK & Ireland Group - have changed the industry's competitive landscape and given further momentum to wholesale bypass, stunting industry revenue.

The industry includes the wholesale of dairy produce such as liquid and powdered milk, cheese, yoghurt, butter, cream and other dairy products. It also includes the wholesale of eggs, edible oils and fats of animal and vegetable origin.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
