A variety of factors like rising disposable income, changing dietary habits, and growing fast food industry have boosted the demand for cheese worldwide. Traditionally popular in Western countries, the consumption of cheese has increased significantly in Asia Pacific and other emerging economies as more people incorporate it into their daily diets. Most commercially produced cheeses can be classified into two main categories - natural cheese which includes cheddar, parmesan, mozzarella, etc. and processed cheese slices or spreads. The natural cheese segment dominates the market currently due to increasing health consciousness.
