Competition and Markets Authority Investigation

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has been conducting an investigation into the pricing of infant formulas, a significant segment within the dairy industry. This investigation has brought to light considerable price variations among different infant formula products.

The findings of the CMA's investigation indicated that profit margins for these products range from 50% to 75%. In addition to these high profit margins, retail mark-ups contribute an extra 18% to 22% to the final consumer prices. These statistics highlight the potential pricing challenges and competitive dynamics within the infant formula market.
