PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Cheese sales are set to show strong growth driven by consumption trends and lifestyle shifts
Sales of cheese in Ukraine are expected to rise over the forecast period, with both value and volume growth supported by increasing per capita consumption and evolving consumer habits. The expanding wine culture in Ukraine will play a key role, with cheese often featured in wine tastings and social gatherings, reinforcing its place in daily and special-occasion consumption.
Spreadable cheese is set to gain ground due to consumers’ perception as healthier option
Spreadable cream cheese continues to see strong sales growth in Ukraine, largely driven by consumer perceptions of it being a healthier alternative to traditional processed cheese. Shoppers are increasingly drawn to its simpler ingredient lists, lighter texture resembling curd or fromage, and the presence of natural additives like herbs.
Innovation in cheese is set to focus on convenient, on-the-go snack options
There is expected to be a further development of a consumption culture for cheese in Ukraine with the country having a relatively low per capita consumption. Snack occasions and the demand for convenient, on-the-go snack options will continue to support growth and innovation in cheese across the forecast period.
