Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled ‘Plant-based Cheese Market—Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast (2024-2031)’. According to this latest publication, the plant-based cheese market is expected to reach $8.62 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 9.8% from 2024 to 2031.

Key factors driving the growth of the plant-based cheese market include the increasing vegan and vegetarian population, expanded investments in the dairy alternatives sector, a rise in lactose intolerance cases, and a focus on animal welfare and sustainability. However, market growth is restrained by factors such as preference for animal-based products and fluctuating raw material prices.

In addition, emerging economies, increasing innovation, and new product launches provide significant growth opportunities for market players. However, the increasing preference for soy and gluten-free products presents a challenge to the market's growth.

Furthermore, the adoption of vegan culinary innovations in the hospitality and restaurant sectors, along with a growing awareness of health & wellness, are prominent trends in the plant-based cheese market.

Key Players:

The plant-based cheese market is characterized by a moderately competitive scenario due to the presence of many large- and small-sized global, regional, and local players. The key players operating in the plant-based cheese market are Daiya Foods Inc. (Canada), Danone S.A. (France), The Gardener Cheese Company Inc. (U.S.), Kite Hill (U.S.), Bute Island Foods Ltd.

The global plant-based cheese market is segmented based on type, source, formulation, form, and distribution channel. The report also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the plant-based cheese market at the regional and country levels.

Among the types studied in this report, the mozzarella segment is anticipated to hold the dominant position, with a share of 31.4% of the market in 2024. This segment's substantial market share is primarily driven by its extensive use in popular dishes such as pizza and pasta, its versatility in cooking, mild flavor, and excellent melting properties.

Among the sources studied in this report, the almond segment is anticipated to hold the dominant position, with a large share of the plant-based cheese market in 2024. This segment’s substantial market share is primarily driven by the production of almond milk. Cheese derived from almond milk typically has a lower environmental impact than dairy products, as it requires less water and generates fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

Among the formulations studied in this report, the flavored segment is anticipated to hold the dominant position, with a large share of the plant-based cheese market in 2024. This segment’s substantial market share is attributed to ongoing innovation and new product development within the flavored plant-based cheese category, as well as increasing consumer acceptance of these products.

Among the forms studied in this report, the block segment is anticipated to hold the dominant position, with a large share of the plant-based cheese market in 2024. This segment's significant market share is primarily fueled by consumers' familiarity with block cheese. Its convenience for storage and use, extensive availability in grocery stores, and versatility—permitting it to be sliced, melted, grated, or shredded as required—enhance its appeal.

Among the distribution channels studied in the report, the business-to-consumer segment is anticipated to hold the dominant position, with a large share of the plant-based cheese market in 2024. This segment's substantial market share is driven by several factors, including the increase in retail sales of plant-based cheese in supermarkets and hypermarkets, the expansion of shelf space for plant-based products in contemporary grocery stores, and the growing consumer acceptance of vegan and vegetarian dairy alternatives.
