A report by Fact.MR predicts that the global cheddar cheese market will grow to US$86.5 million in 2023, expanding at a 3.5% CAGR. China is expected to grow at a faster rate than the US, driven by the use of cheddar in processed food and bakery goods, increasing purchasing power, fast food trends, and tariff reductions. The US is expected to account for 45% of the market in 2022. The report also anticipates that the market will be driven by snacking cheddars marketed as a nutrient-dense protein option. Cube cheddar is expected to lead the global market in 2022, with specialty stores holding around 30% of the market, but by 2023, the supermarket segment is expected to expand at the highest rate.
