Russia Cheese Market Trends:

Growing consumer demand for cheese

Russia is witnessing a growing domestic demand for cheese that can be attributed to the changes in consumer dietary preferences and increasing purchasing power. A rising number of consumers with inflating disposable incomes in Russia are increasingly seeking a diversified diet that includes different types of cheeses. Moreover, continuously developing retail chains and supermarkets throughout the country are making cheese more accessible to a greater number of consumers who have become curious about it, which is fueling the market. Along with this, the increasing popularity of Western cuisine and expansion of Western restaurants are exposing the Russian consumer to a greater variety of cheese types, thus driving interest in premium and specialty cheeses. Another factor driving the industry is an augmenting rise in the product demand from health-conscious consumers, given that cheese is increasingly being recognized for its nutritional value and positive health benefits, such as high protein and calcium levels. The value-addition efforts by the cheese manufacturers expressing these health-positive aspects through marketing have resonated with consumers, leaning towards more consumption.  Furthermore, the rise in online grocery shopping platforms has also made a wider variety of cheeses more accessible, further driving consumer demand across different regions in Russia.

Government support and protectionist policies

The implementation of support and protectionist policies by the Russian government is one of the major driving factors that is propelling the growth of the cheese market. Due to the international sanctions and trade restrictions, the Russian government opted for self-sufficiency policies in food production. These initiatives, with a significant focus on dairy products like cheese, encompass import substitution, subsidization of dairy farmers and cheesemakers, and investments in infrastructure and technology. The Russian cheese market is also expanding due to significant local production gains, driven by restrictive measures on imports and substantial governmental support. Improved technology and consumer preference for locally sourced products have further bolstered the competitiveness and quality of domestic cheese. Effectively, these policies created a good environment for the development of the local cheese industry by encouraging investments and innovations. Furthermore, the current government’s food security agenda is leading to programs aimed at expanding the production capacity of the dairy sector to ensure a stable supply of raw materials for cheesemaking.
