Sales of liquid milk in Great Britain were estimated to have reached around 4.1 billion liters in the 52 weeks ending in November 2024. Although this is a decrease on the previous years, figures should not be directly compared, as the source updated its methodology in 2024. Using the old methodology, the highest figure was reached in 2018. 

Milk production and uses

In 2023/24, 14.89 billion liters of milk were produced in the United Kingdom. Production previously peaked in 2020/21 at over 15 billion liters. 

Expenditure and sales

Liquid milk market expenditure has been gradually increasing since 2017 to around 3.37 billion British pounds in 2022. Semi-skimmed milk is the most popular pasteurized liquid milk in Great Britain, with a retail sales volume of 3.15 billion million liters sold in 2022/23.
