Global Cheese Alternatives Market to Hit USD 7.6 Billion as Lactose Intolerance and Dairy Allergy Awareness Rises

Cheese Alternatives Market

According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the global Cheese Alternatives market (Markt für Käsealternativen) is expected to be valued at USD 2,479.3 million in 2024 and it is expected to grow with CAGR of 11.8% over the forecast period to reach market valuation of USD 7,600.4 million by 2034.

The growth in the cheese alternatives market is highly attributed to a rise in environmental sustainability and personal health knowledge. During the past few years, consumers have become more aware of how their diets impact on both their health and the planet. A better appreciation of environmental consequences associated with conventional dairy farming including high emissions of GHGs, immense water use and land degradation has led to this rising consciousness. As they gain more information about such concerns, most customers are looking for substitutes that match their convictions about maintainability and wellness.

Several governments and organizations have taken steps to support this dietary change, as they understand the significance of choosing plants over animal products. A case in point is the Canadian government’s launch of Plant-Based Investment Campaign (PIC), which is meant to boost plant-based business sector. The Canadian government has invested into plant-based businesses through this initiative thereby revealing the importance of state aid in promoting growth in this industry. Such programs do not only offer financial assistance but also act as avenues for sensitizing a population about plant based products like cheese alternatives.

Personal health is another factor that’s been driving the shift to vegetable-based cheese substitutes. There are many health problems connected with traditional dairy foods such as heart disease and obesity due to their high content of saturated fats and cholesterol. Conversely, a majority of plant-based cheese alternatives are more favorable regarding fat and calorie content in addition to having no cholesterol. Furthermore, these cheeses are suitable for individuals suffering from lactose intolelrance or milk allergy, thus broadening their market base.
