PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Cheese predicted to post slight increase in volume and value terms over the forecast period
Taiwanese consumers consistently dine out frequently, and post-pandemic, the majority are resuming their customary meeting patterns. However, unlike butter, cheese will continue to be used as a common ingredient in home cooking in Taiwan, especially in the form of processed cheese, which is often found in breakfast sandwiches or instant noodles.
Carrefour will continue to attract interest with private label cheese line
Traditionally, aside from processed cheese products available in major grocery outlets such as supermarkets and hypermarkets, local consumers seeking other varieties of natural cheese, including mascarpone or ricotta, had to visit premium supermarkets and pay higher prices. In response to this, Carrefour identified opportunities to develop its affordable private label cheese range during the review period.
Consumers will seek more sophisticated flavours, leading to diversification
Local consumer preferences have become increasingly sophisticated, resulting in a growing demand for a diverse range of cheeses. The pandemic led many Taiwanese consumers to cook at home more frequently, preparing European dishes such as pasta and pizza, both of which typically incorporate cheese.
