According to the latest research, the global Mozzarella Cheese market size was valued at USD 27005.9 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.58% during the forecast period, reaching USD 35337.7 million by 2028.
Mozzarella cheese is a traditionally southern Italian cheese made from Italian buffalo's milk by the pasta filata method. The finished cheese, lightly salted, is white, soft with a very lively surface sheen and has unique property of stretchability. It is one of the indispensable ingredients for making fine pizzas.
Affect the normal operation of the enterprises
The impact of the epidemic on the mozzarella cheese industry will involve all major links and all entities in the industry chain. In order to avoid large-scale population movements and gatherings, various countries have adopted prevention and control measures such as home isolation and extension of holidays. More and more cities are entering the first-level response state, strictly isolating measures, strictly prohibiting vehicle entry and exit, strictly controlling the flow of personnel, and strictly preventing the spread of the epidemic. This makes it impossible for non-local employees to return or arrive immediately, the number of employees is insufficient, and normal commuting is also severely frustrated, resulting in a large-scale shutdown of production. The road closure and country closure measures adopted by various regions have hindered the transportation of raw materials as well as mozzarella cheese products. The existing raw and auxiliary material reserves cannot meet the needs of normal production, and the raw material inventory of most companies cannot maintain production. The industry's start-up load dropped, and market sales dropped sharply. In addition, the raw materials of mozzarella cheese are mainly milk. Under the background of the current epidemic situation, both supply and demand will be suppressed, but the impact on consumption will be significantly greater than the supply side. Therefore, the overall weak supply and demand pattern is difficult to reverse.
Upstream and downstream interactions will lead to disruption of business
The lockdown brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a sharp drop in sales of mozzarella over the past few months, and even the raw milk produced from the cheese has been severely disrupted. Lockdowns will have a profound impact on upstream supply chains, leading to changes in the product mix in response to significant changes in product demand – mainly due to weaker demand for cheese – to avoid mass production of mozzarella and processed cheese. Small dairy farms and small processors are facing dire economic hardships given the disruption to the food service industry and the destruction of export demand. In addition to supplying local sales, a large portion of mozzarella is exported, and travel restrictions due to the pandemic have also cut off exports of the cheese. Some countries are closed, logistics is not smooth, and overseas orders have dropped sharply. The disruption of the entire industry chain has led to a sharp drop in product sales. Small businesses will be hit hard.
High compatibility of mozzarella cheese with other delicacies
High compatibility of mozzarella cheese with other delicacies is also one of the major reasons for high consumption of this product. And the growth of mozzarella cheese industry is strongly suppoted by the demand from pizza industry. Mozzarella cheese is used as a topping on pizza pie owing to its inherent stretching qualities. The popularity of pizza parlour, especially amongst youngsters has boosted the production of Mozzarella cheese. Apart from its usage in pizza, mozzarella cheese is used in a number of products and is well appreciated with meats and vegetables. Mozzarella cheese is used with baked goods, Italian dishes, sauces and soups. It is also used with appetizers to add appeal to the dish.
Fast-food chains like McDonald's and Domino’s Pizza have successfully created a pizza and burger culture around the world. Both products are topped with cheese and are also sold at subsidized prices, attracting consumers to the dishes.
Moreover, the rising percapita income and growing adoption of mozzarella cheese in daily food habits also escalate the market demand. People are turning to home cooking using ingredients like cheese that are marketed as a healthy source of protein and fat. Therefore, due to its versatile nature, mozzarella cheese is getting widely adopted in numerous dishes. The aforementioned factors are projected to boost the mozzarella cheese demand over the forecast period.
Rising health consciousness
The rising health consciousness and obesity among consumers are holding back the growth of the market to an extent. Attributed to high content of protein, consumption of mozzarella cheese adds to the body weight. Weight conscious people prefer consuming healthier food products. Excessive consumption of mozzarella cheese could lead to stomach infection and have adverse effects on health. Such factors are likely to inhibit growth of the global mozzarella cheese market during the predicted period. Moreover, alarming obesity rates & rise in health consciousness among adults, unhealthy additives & ingredients in processed cheese, and perishable nature of the products are also expected to hamper the market growth during the cheese market forecast period.
