Cheese is a dairy product obtained from compressed and coagulated milk. Its form, taste, texture and flavor depend on the origin of milk, bacteria, pasteurization, mold, butterfat content, processing and aging. As compared to milk and other dairy products, cheese has a longer shelf-life and provides nutrients, proteins, fats, and calcium. Consequently, it is extensively utilized to prepare burgers, pasta, pizza and other fast food items in the Asia Pacific region.

The rising prevalence of western food culture, along with hectic work schedules, represents one of the significant factors strengthening the cheese market growth in the Asia Pacific region. Moreover, the presence of a wide variety of cheese in the market, including mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, feta, and roquefort, are driving the overall sales in the region. Apart from this, leading players are introducing unique spreadable cheese flavors to expand their consumer base. However, the recent outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and consequent lockdown restrictions imposed by the regional governments have resulted in supply chain disruptions. This, in turn, has adversely affected the growth of the market. The Asia Pacific cheese market is anticipated to experience growth once lockdown relaxations are introduced.
