Cheese Global Market Report 2021 - Growing Demand for Organic Cheese Offers Considerable Opportunities - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Cheese Global Market Report 2021: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global cheese market is expected to grow from $201.99 billion in 2020 to $216.88 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The market is expected to reach $296.24 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 8%.

Major companies in the cheese market include Arla Foods Limited; Bongrain AG; Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Limited; Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited and Leprino Foods Company Inc.

The cheese market consists of sales of cheese by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that produce cheese products (except cottage cheese) from raw milk and/or processed milk products, and cheese substitutes from soybean and other non-dairy substances. The companies in the industry package and distribute their products through various distribution channels to both individual customers and commercial establishments. The cheese market is segmented into natural cheese and processed cheese.

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the global cheese market, accounting for 36% of the market in 2020. North America was the second largest region accounting for 29% of the global cheese market. Africa was the smallest region in the global cheese market.

The internet of things (IoT) technology is increasingly being used to track dairy products and ensure safe product handling. IoT technology consists of a network of devices, vehicles or other items that continuously exchange data and provide insights about a process or system. This technology is being used to track ingredients being used in products.

Equipment connected to the internet in trucks and storage coolers can be used to monitor dairy products and tag them with environmental conditions like temperature or location that provide information about safe product handling during transportation. For instance, the Chinese government implemented the National Food Quality Safety Traceability Platform, using IoT technology to improve quality and safety of food production supply chains.

The increasing demand for local, sustainable and organic food production is expected to positively impact the cheese manufacturing market during the forecast period. Organic food production including organic dairy products places a strong emphasis on consumer health, environmental protection and animal welfare.

Consumers now are becoming more concerned with how food is raised and prepared and are willing to pay a little more for something they recognize as healthy. Across Europe, there is a very high import rate (especially for fruits and vegetables) as the rate of production is far lower than the consumption demands for organic produce.

For instance, according to the Soil Association, sales of organic products in the UK increased by 4.5% in 2019 to reach £2.45 billion. Similarly, sales of organic food in the US increased by 5.9% to reach $47.9 billion, according to the 2019 Organic Industry Survey.

This growing demand for organic products such as cheese offers considerable opportunities for dairy products producers in both developed and developing countries, thus likely to drive the cheese manufacturing industry market during the forecast period.
