PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Cheese is predicated to record steady growth amid economic stability
Sales of cheese in Egypt are expected to experience overall growth during the forecast period, driven by its status as a dietary staple in most households. The market will continue to benefit from intense competition among both international and domestic brands, a factor that helps moderate sharp price increases and keeps products accessible for a wide consumer base.
Health-focused cheese varieties are expected to gain momentum over the forecast period
There is expected to be an ongoing, and significant rise in healthy cheese options over the forecast period, including low-salt and low-fat varieties. These will be available across multiple formats, such as soft and spreadable cheeses.
Rising prices and shifting demand is set to shape the forecast for hard cheese
Hard cheese prices in Egypt continue to rise, driven primarily by heavy reliance on imports and increasing raw material costs for domestic production. Fluctuations in the exchange rate further compress profit margins, encouraging importers to diversify their sourcing countries to mitigate risks.
