Enhancing yield, sustainability and taste

摘要

Cheese, including cheddar, moz-zarella and continental varieties such as gouda, has long been a consumer favourite and its popularity is still soaring today, with the global cheese market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8 per cent from 2020 to 2025, according to Mordor Intelligence's report on global cheese market growth. Consumer research carried out by DSM, which interviewed 5,000 people across 10 countries, also identified that 86 per cent of survey respondents expect to consume more cheese in the coming years. While the growth potential of the cheese market presents a lucrative opportunity for producers, it also introduces a new, complex challenge of how to meet growing production quotas while continuing to work efficiently, sustainably and economically. Meeting consumers' expectations for taste and texture is also key to ensure brand loyalty and repeat purchasing.
