The UK cider industry produces around 750 million litres of cider a year, utilising 56% of all the apples grown in the UK. Cider has less than a 7% share of the UK drinks market, considerably less than beer, wine and spirits.
Twice a year the NACM hosts a reception at Westminster with the All Party Parliamentary Cider Group to champion cider makers and the wider cider category.
