Alongside the extensive market research, Nestlé is mulling entrance into the newly emerging market of fruit-based milk drinks.


”Nestle is a worldwide leader in chilled dairy and in India we’re looking at this category from a long-term perspective,” a spokesperson from the company told the Financial Express.


“If consumer preference indicates a potential market, then fruit-based milk drinks could be a part of our portfolio in the future,” the report continued, pointing out that one of the first products receiving attention by the company is a mango-based milk drink for children called Nestlé Natural Fruit-n-Milk.
