Zenith's 2007 Functional Dairy Drinks report is based on detailed research into the opportunities and threats facing the burgeoning dairy drinks market. Zenith's outline findings are that:

- West Europe is by far the largest of the three markets, experiencing strong double digit growth in 2006.

- The US is seeing year on year growth of around 50%, albeit from a low base, and -- alongside West Europe -- is slowly eroding Japan's volume share.

- Declining sales of the traditional probiotic yogurt shot are being witnessed in some markets also as a result of consumer confusion over health claims and overwhelming choice.

- These, however, are being offset by new opportunities based on other health benefits or other functional categories, such as sports drinks, energy drinks and even cosmeceuticals.

- Functional dairy drinks, previously a much more niche concept, are continuing their movement towards the mainstream as dairy producers recognise the advantages of adding active ingredients to regular milk products.

- Challenges to overcome include the increasingly regulatory environment surrounding health claims, delivering the right message to consumers, identifying uncharted territory and carving out new niches, all whilst trying to raise the profile of dairy as a whole.

Zenith International reports offer you the most reliable market figures and in-depth analysis of trends. This comes from a bottom up approach to the research process, and detailed discussions undertaken with industry players.
