Much of the growth in this market can be attributed to a proliferation of the fast food culture in recent years. It is also driven by the high nutritional value of cheese. This market, however, is still challenged by the perishable nature of the dairy product. Stringent government regulations on the production, transportation, and storage of cheese are other barriers to market growth. Despite these barriers, market players can tap lucrative opportunities in product innovation.

Market by geography

Cheese is a staple in the European food culture, and in 2012, this region dominated the global market for cheese by accounting for over 38.8% of the global demand. North America constituted 32.7% of the global demand for cheese. However, over the next five years, the Asia Pacific market will show the fastest growth in demand, notching a CAGR of 7.9% between 2013 and 2019.

A sizeable chunk of the demand in Asia Pacific will come from China, India, and Japan. These regions are already witnessing a heightened awareness about world cheeses and consumers here are showing a growing preference for cheese-based cuisine. This region is home to some of the most densely populated countries in the world, making it a massive market. Moreover, the disposable income of consumers here is escalating, allowing them to splurge on fast food and artisan and exotic varieties of cheese alike. All these factors will collectively translate into a growing demand for cheese.
