Müller Yogurt & Desserts has announced the launch of large ‘take home’ Müller FRijj cartons, targeting further growth in the flavoured milk category.
With the overall flavoured milk category growing almost 3 per cent YoY and larger take home formats accounting for over 40 per cent of the milkshake market [52 w/e 27.01.24 Circana], the dairy company is continuing to optimise its portfolio of products to enable category growth.
Shoppers will be able to purchase 950ml cartons of Müller FRijj in fudge brownie and strawberry flavours from the end of March in Asda, and other retailers over the coming months.
As the dairy company continues to target growth in the convenience and wholesale sectors, the business has launched the 950ml cartons in a long lasting ambient recipe.
Following a roll out to retailers, the Müller FRijj brand will continue to be supported by its multimillion pound masterbrand TV campaign and from May, the return of its ‘Feel The URjj’ marketing campaign across radio, OOH and social media.
“We think there is a huge opportunity for category growth in milk drinks. They are already purchased by 33 per cent of households, but if we can offer the right pack sizes and flavours to fulfil the needs of both on-the-go and at-home shoppers, we can really fuel growth in this sector,” Becky Spellman, associate marketing manager at Müller Yogurt & Desserts, said.
“Smaller on the go formats are the most prominent in this sector, accounting for 55 per cent of flavoured milk drinks total value. But with larger take-home sizes accounting for over 40 per cent, this represents a great opportunity.
“Add to the mix the resurgence of the Müller FRijj brand, which following significant investment in on-pack promotions and multi-million pound marketing campaigns, is seeing positive growth with 19 per cent value sales and an increase in market share to over 11 per cent.
“So we want to build on these encouraging figures and drive even more sales for our customers.” As with all Müller FRijj products, the new take home format is made with British milk.
