(Food-Beverage-News.Com, October 13, 2021 ) According to MarketsandMarkets™, the "Cheese Market by Product Type (Cheddar, Mozzarella, Parmesan, American Cheese, and Blue Cheese), Type (Cheese Product and Cheese Powder), Source (Animal and Plant), Nature, Distribution Channel, Application, and by Region - Global Forecast to 2026", is estimated to be valued at USD 88.7 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 105.9 billion by 2026, recording a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period. The cheese market is highly impacted by the increasing size of the convenience & fast-food industry and innovative offerings by cheese manufacturers. The growth rate of the fast-food industry is significant owing to the changing lifestyles of people around the globe.
The rising influence of western cuisines, inflating disposable incomes, and introduction of a number of flavored cheese products, including pepper, garlic, red chili flakes, and oregano pickle, drives the cheese market. Although cheese is a staple in Western countries such as Europe and the US, its versatility enables it to cater to the different tastes and preferences of consumers globally.
The sauces, dressings, dips, and condiments segment, by application, is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Cheese powder imparts an enhanced cheese flavor to sauces, dressings, dips, and condiments. This can be done with the use of a single flavor cheese or a mix of more than one cheese flavors. The use of cheese powder also offers better taste, convenience, and functionality in recipes where high-temperature cooking is required. With the rapidly rising demand for fast food in the Asia Pacific, the demand for cheese powder in sauces, dressings, dips, and condiments is likely to grow at the highest rate, in this region, during the forecasted period.
