Cheese is a nutritious and versatile dairy food which contains a high concentration of essential nutrients relative to its energy level. Its specific nutritional composition is determined by multifactorial parameters, including the type of milk used (species, breed, stage of lactation, and fat content) and the manufacturing and ripening procedures. In general, cheese is rich in the fat and casein constituents of milk, which are preserved in the curd during manufacturing. It contains relatively small amounts of the water-soluble constituents (whey proteins, lactose, and water-soluble vitamins), which partition mainly into the whey.
Cheese continues to be a popular addition to everyday diet, due to the high amount of protein, calcium, minerals and vitamins. The consumption of cheese, over the years, has improved significantly across the world and subsequently the art of cheese making has now evolved into a lucrative business.
The global cheese market is projected to grow substantially over the forecast period. Increasing urbanization and rising disposable incomes across the globe as well as shifting consumer trends for authentic, natural cheese are serving as the major factors boosting the demand for cheese.
The report analyses global cheese market based on type, product, distribution channel and geography.
There are mainly two types of cheese widely considered, which are processed cheese and unprocessed or natural cheese. Both processed and unprocessed cheese have certain manufacturing specifications which make them different from each other. Unprocessed cheese contains whey that is pressed out of them while processed cheese contains emulsifiers which retain the fatty and non-fatty elements mixed together. The market for unprocessed cheese is higher than that of processed cheese, due to their natural flavors which are developed from their aging.
The various cheese products include mozzarella, cheddar, feta, parmesan, roquefort and others. Cheese production undergoes several imperative steps such as curdling, coagulation involving proteins like casein, and whey, fermentation, ripening, etc. These processes lead to the development of different kinds of cheese. Considerable consumption of mozzarella cheese is anticipated to remain high among diabetic food manufacturers. Attributed to high content of calcium, mozzarella cheese is expected to witness high consumption among athletes and sportsmen. Consumption of block mozzarella cheese is expected to remain high as compared to other forms of cheese.
Distribution is the process of getting the product into target markets.
