Global Mascarpone Cheese Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Distribution Channel, By Type, By Application (Food & Beverages, Food Service Industry, and Retail & Household), By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2023 - 2030

The Global Mascarpone Cheese Market size is expected to reach $1.7 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 4.4% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 66,006.5 tonnes, experiencing a growth of 5.1% (2019-2022).

The expansion of mascarpone cheese sales in developing nations of the Asia Pacific is attributable to a shift in dietary preferences and an increase in the availability of specialty dairy products. Therefore, the Asia Pacific region acquired $318.7 million revenue in the market in 2022. The growth of the market in the region is augmented by the efforts of significant market participants to enter newer markets. In 2016, Fonterra launched mascarpone cheese in Japan to accommodate the growing demand for specialty dairy foods and ready-to-consume dairy products among Japanese consumers. When added to food products, mascarpone cheese imparts a mildly sweet flavor and a creamy, smooth texture due to its high natural dairy fat content. Some of the factors impacting the market are lifestyle changes and a rise in the demand for healthy foods, the spread of retail and ready-to-eat sectors, and availability of other cheese varieties and products.

Due to the surge in employment, fewer individuals have time for cooking at home. As a result, people have been eating and drinking more frequently when they are not at home over the previous few decades. The trend towards eating a healthy diet high in protein has encouraged people to eat more dairy and meat products. In restaurants, there has been an increased demand for various cheese and meat cuts. As a result of the surge in demand for high-protein foods, the cheese industry has experienced rising sales. The consumption of mascarpone cheese has become an essential alternative to the consumption of cheese made from bovine milk, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue to develop rapidly over the projected time. One of the factors influencing the growth of the market is the rising demand for ready-to-eat food items. In ready-to-eat foods, mascarpone cheese is used as a culinary cheese by industrial canteens and large catering establishments. Therefore, the expanding retail and ready-to-eat sectors increase the demand for mascarpone cheese and are responsible for expanding the market in the coming years. Many retail establishments, such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, discounters, forecourt retailers, convenience stores, and grocery stores, sell ready-to-eat foods. Online commerce is one of the most common ways to buy mascarpone cheese. These establishments act as a marketing tool that helps create a superb premium image and raises brand awareness for various foods and drinks. As a result, the growth of the retail sector strengthens the demand for mascarpone cheese.

However, the market is further constrained by competition from other cheese products. Sliced cheese, shredded cheese, liquid cheese, parmesan cheese, halloumi cheese, and cheese blocks are a few examples of cheese products that compete with mascarpone cheese in various ways. Some customers may believe cheese in blocks, slices, and shreds is more authentic and natural. Customers may choose other cheese products they believe to be of a higher caliber, which may impact the demand for mascarpone cheese products.
