The latest report by IMARC, titled “Cheese Market in India Report by Type (Processed Cheese, Mozzarella, Cheddar, Emmental, Ricotta, and Others), Format (Slices, Diced/Cubes, Shredded, Blocks, Liquid, Crème, Cheese Spreads), Application (Pizzas, Burgers, Sandwiches, Wraps, Cakes, and Others), Retail/Institutional (Retail, Institutional), and Region 2024-2032”, finds that the India cheese market size reached INR 88.9 Billion in 2023. Cheese refers to a nutritious and palatable milk-derived food product available in a wide range of colors, tastes, textures, and aromas. It is manufactured by coagulating the protein casein found in goat, camel, cow, and buffalo milk. It has emerged as one of the most popular dairy products and has a longer shelf life as compared to milk. It possesses vital nutrients, including fat, protein, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and riboflavin. The consumption of cheese reduces the risk of developing cancer, osteoporosis, blood pressure, and immunity-related problems. In recent years, cheese has gained traction across India due to its extensive utilization for preparing pasta, pizza, burgers, and numerous other fast-food items.

India Cheese Market Trends:

One of the primary factors driving the market is the increasing number of quick service restaurants (QSRs) across the country. Additionally, the growing awareness among consumers regarding the health benefits associated with cheese and rising adoption of western cuisines across the Indian region is creating a positive market outlook. Other than this, the exponential growth in the food and beverage (F&B) industry is positively influencing the market growth. Besides this, cheese is also widely used in traditional Indian dishes, such as uttapam, dosa, and parathas. In line with this, the rising number of working individuals in confluence with the changing food patterns are propelling the market growth. Furthermore, key players are introducing a wide variety of cheese in the market, such as mozzarella, cheddar, Roquefort, parmesan, and feta. Moreover, producers are investing heavily in marketing campaigns through numerous advertising media, including newspapers, television, and social media platforms to expand their consumer base.
