Australia Cheese Market Outlook

*this image is indicative*

Natural cheese is driving the Australia cheese market growth.

Natural cheese is produced with little to no processing and is made from milk and neutral ingredients. It contains nutritional qualities, original flavour and texture while providing valuable nutrients for bone health, muscle development, and overall well-being. It comes in a wide variety of products to cater to the diverse needs of consumers. Processed cheese is blended with other ingredients such as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and flavourings while having a longer shelf life and providing convenience. 

As per Australian Dietary Guidelines (ADG), the average recommended serving of milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives is 3.0 servings per day for Australians indicating the substantial potential for the Australia cheese market.

The increasing consumer preferences and awareness towards plant-based diets and environmental and ethical concerns have been driving the Australia cheese market. Manufacturers and companies are producing dairy-free cheese products with plant-based ingredients such as nuts, seeds, legumes, and coconut oil to provide the taste and texture of traditional cheese.  They also adopt sustainable practices, support ethical sourcing, and provide transparent information about their products and processes. Bega group has collaborated with Bega Cream Cheese and launched cream cheese with vegemite flavour with a milder taste.
