The upsurge in the consumption of ready-to-eat food products and savoury snack items is likely to boost the demand for cheese concentrates. This was among the findings of Fact.MR’s recent report on the cheese concentrate market.
Diverse applications of cheese concentrates to bode well for market
Cheese concentrates are offered in paste and powder forms, and can be effortlessly blended with additional ingredients to produce several different food products such as dips, breads and cakes, sauces, and snacks.
They are used in different varieties of food products, such as items made from several types of cheese-based sauces, processed cheese, bakery foods such as flavored breads, breadsticks, cheese crackers, cheese croissants, and ready-to-eat products, such as pastas, noodles, risotto and macaroni.
Several other savoury snack products, such as cheese crisps, cheese puffs, cheese nachos, and cheese popcorn utilise cheese concentrates.
They can be used in several types of dressings for different varieties of flavoured dips, salads, and low-fat food items. These diverse applications have resulted in notable growth in their consumption.
Consumers across the globe are looking for ready-to-eat food and easy-to-make products, due to their fast-paced lifestyles.
Cheese snacks, for example, cheese concentrate cereals and rolls, serve as nutritious, quick, and ready-to-eat breakfast alternatives, especially for the working population. This has resulted in an upsurge in the demand for cheese concentrates, prominently in the ready-to-eat food and bakery food product sectors.
Their usage in the production of savoury snacks as well as bakery food products has been growing considerably owing to the availability of several flavours of easy to blend cheese concentrates in the market.
Functional snacks and high-protein diets will bolster demand
As manufacturers are doing several experiments, they are coming up with new varieties of food products, which are rich in protein and few other health-beneficial contents.
Moreover, the trend of gourmet cuisine, as well as fine and luxury food items has stimulated manufacturers to innovate their food products in order to fulfill consumers’ distinct taste preferences.
Furthermore, the evolution of cheese concentrate is likely to escalate the demand for cheese concentrates, prominently in cafes, hotels, and restaurants.
The growing demand for food products with gourmet and artisanal cheese concentrates is likely to bolster the cheese concentrate market growth over the forecast period.
The upsurge in retail outlets is resulting in easy accessibility of cheese concentrates, which is further anticipated to show worthwhile growth prospects for prominent producers during the forecast period.
Concentrated forms of cheese contain high milk fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. The proteins that are present in them make cheese the most in-demand ingredient for flavouring various food products.
Cheese concentrates also have high quantities of calcium and phosphorous compounds, which are important to maintain bone health in humans. Besides, micro-level nutrients present in cheese concentrates such as water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, boost the value of foods and act as health boosters.
This is resulting in the rising usage of cheese concentrate in food products as a flavouring ingredient as well as a supporting nutritious ingredient.
Consumers across different geographies across the globe are becoming aware of healthy food and are quickly shifting their diet patterns, which is likely to escalate the consumption of protein-rich cheese concentrates.
Escalating consumer awareness for anti-ageing, weight loss, and other health-related concerns through the intake of natural protein is compelling many producers to provide protein-rich food stuff with numerous health benefits.
As per consumer preferences, prominent manufacturers of cheese concentrates have started shifting towards the production of nutritious food products. This trend is expected to gain traction in the coming years and compel manufacturers to upgrade the quality of their products to cater to the needs of consumers.
