Growing Fast-Food Industry Promotes the Application of Cheese Powder in Sweet & Savory Snacks

Cheese powder is widely used in sweet & savory snacks to induce the cheesy flavor in them and provide a richer mouthfeel. In the savory snacks and sweets segment, cheese powder is majorly used in Mozzarella sticks, Nachos, popcorn, puffed snacks, and chips. The most popular brands that have cheese powder snacks are Cheetos, Burritos, McCain, and Venkys. Cheese powder offers better functionality and taste over other flavors and better convenience for use in a range of snack products. Consumers are now more inclined toward fast food and on-the-go products hence, led to an increase in the demand for snacks and fast foods, which has led the companies to think innovatively and proactively while making snacks products.

Europe is projected to account for the largest market during the forecast period

The European cheese market is the largest in the world, and despite very high per capita consumption levels, market growth has remained attractive and stable. Cheese has provided better export opportunities than any other dairy product, as the willingness to pay for quality European cheese has always been high, and the impact of higher raw-material costs is less problematic. Due to the maturity of the cheese market, the strategic focus of key players is to consolidate current market positions by acquiring add-ons and facilitating new and innovative product development to stay ahead in the industry.
