Cheese is having an impressive year! Mintel, a leader in consumer research, forecasts cheese sales to exceed the $31 billion mark in 2023. While inflation has been the main driver of dollar growth in the past two years, low category attrition during this time has proven the category’s staying power in consumer carts. Mintel also predicts cheese sales will continue to be strong in 2024 and beyond.
In this presentation, several key topics related to cheese trends and growth opportunities are covered, including the consumer mindset, forecast and outlook for the cheese category, cheese trends in retail sales, and product innovation. Key insights on snacking, social media, and health and affordability are included as well as recommendations on how to expand usage, efforts in sustainability, and how to engage with trends.
