Non-Dairy Cheese Market Analysis, 2021
Cheese is one of the most popular dairy products consumed globally. It is available in several forms and used in a wide variety of dishes, including pizza, lasagne, pasta, cheesecakes, and frostings. Cheese is considered one of the most important sources of protein; however, overconsumption of cheese can cause various health disorders such as overweight, obesity, cholesterol, and heart diseases. The growing health consciousness among consumers has declined the consumption of cheese and related products across the world. Several consumers have been unable to incorporate milk and other dairy products due to reasons such as personal preferences, dietary restrictions, lactose intolerance, allergies, and others.
Further, the growing awareness of animal welfare has drifted the preference of consumers toward non-dairy diets. Veganism is one of the most popular trends in recent times. However, for vegans, leaving behind delicious foods such as pastas and pizza, has always appeared as a major challenge.

Several consumers around the world are increasingly shifting toward the consumption of vegan diets to protect animal rights as well as the environment. According to the Vegan Society, the number of vegan consumers globally increased by over 360% in the last 10 years.

However, the demand for these products has been increasing rapidly in the global market and has become a part of mainstream dairy. Consumers are primarily opting for non-dairy milk products owing to its higher nutritional properties. Non-dairy milk is considered as a healthier alternative to animal-based dairy milk. With the increasing awareness of the health properties associated with plant-based products, the demand for dairy alternatives is rapidly increasing in recent years.

However, there is a high willingness to pay for a premium product among younger consumers. As per a recent survey, healthy food categories are growing at a faster rate than indulgent categories globally. Consumers across the world now prefer healthy, sustainable, and high nutrition food products. They are also increasingly adapting to fresh and natural products that promote good health.
