Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increased demand for convenience foods is notably driving the cheddar cheese market growth, although factors such as high operational cost of raw materials may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the cheddar cheese industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Cheddar Cheese Market Driver
The increased demand for convenience foods is notably driving the cheddar cheese market growth. Rapid urbanization around the world has increased disposable income. The global urban population (% of the total world population) increased by 1% from 2016 to 2017. Rising urbanization creates job opportunities and encourages people from rural areas to migrate to urban areas, which increases their income. Also, it has increased the number of female workforces. According to the World Bank Group, the female participation in the global labor force was 39.29% in 2017, and it increased from 39.25% in 2012. These factors have increased the demand for food products that are ready to eat (RTE) with minimal preparation time. Moreover, the rise in the urban population is inculcating new food habits and trends of developing preferences for international food patterns. Hence, various supermarket and hypermarkets are increasing their stock of convenient packaged food. For instance, Le Groupe Bel offers MINI BABYBEL WHITE CHEDDAR VARIETY, which are RTE dairy snacks with no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Similarly, SARGENTO FOODS offers Snack Bites Wisconsin Sharp Cheddar Cheese, which are RTE cheddar snack bites. Hence, the growing demand for convenience foods encourages vendors to expand their cheddar cheese offerings in the RTE segment, which drives the growth of the global cheddar cheese market.
Key Cheddar Cheese Market Trend
Improved accessibility to distribution channels is the key trend driving the cheddar cheese market growth. The rapid expansion of retail chains and specialty stores has increased access to different cheese variants. Furthermore, several vendors such as The Kraft Heinz Company, SARGENTO FOODS, Arla Foods also sell their products through third-party e-commerce retailers such as Amazon.com to provide easy purchasing options for customers. The penetration of the internet and the availability of smart gadgets increase access to online shopping platforms. For instance, global internet penetration was over 55% in 2018. This helps retailers utilize online platforms to expand their geographical reach and consumer base. On the other hand, the growing presence of various offline distribution channels such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, and specialty stores is an indication for the global expansion of the organized retail sector. Cheddar cheese is sold by large, organized retailers such as Walmart and Tesco.com. The number of supermarkets is increasing with growing urbanization. As of 2017, the US has over 35,000 supermarkets, and this number is expected to increase during the forecast period. The improving economy in regions such as APAC and South America is driving the growth of the grocery retail sector in the region owing to the increased presence of international retailers. Hence, increased accessibility to distribution channels aids in driving the growth of the global cheddar cheese market.
Key Cheddar Cheese Market Challenge
The major challenge impeding the cheddar cheese market growth is the high operational cost of raw materials. The major raw materials used in the production of cheddar cheese are milk, curdling agents, and ingredients that are added to enhance flavor and color. Fluctuating prices of raw materials pose a challenge to the growth of the market. For instance, in Europe, the average growth in dairy prices was over 20% from 2016 to 2017. The increase in dairy prices globally can be attributed to the high cost of dairy processing. Also, various other costs are involved in transporting dairy products from receiving desk to product delivery desk, which includes receiving cost, labor cost, storage cost, cleaning cost, transportation cost, and processing costs for separation, evaporation, and cleaning. Furthermore, different types of dairy processing equipment are required for processing activities, whose cost will be around $40,000 to $2 million. All these factors lead to an increase in the prices of dairy products.
