PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Continuing growth over forecast period
Growth will be supported by the spread of fast-food outlets, and increasing interest in Western-style diets, especially for varieties like cheddar and mozzarella, which are staples in burgers and pizzas. Demand will remain strongest among affluent households, expatriates, and urban professionals.
Increasing focus on healthier positioning
Consumers are increasingly health conscious and players will increasingly highlight the health benefits of cheese to drive value sales. Dairy, and cheese, is a good source of calcium and protein, and players will look to increasingly drive this message home.
Convenience-driven cheese formats set to surge
Cheese products that combine ease of use and on-the-go appeal, such as mini tear-and-share cheeses, cheese + cracker snack packs, and flavour-infused spreads, will gain traction. This growing demand will align with urban, time-pressed consumers, including students, professionals, and families seeking portable, ready-to-eat options.
