String Cheese Market Projected to Reach $8.1 Billion by 2035, Growing at 4.7% CAGR
The string cheese market is worth USD 5.1 billion in 2025. According to Fact.MR's estimate, the industry will rise at a CAGR of 4.7% and reach USD 8.1 billion by 2035.One of the primary growth drivers is the climbing interest in high-protein, portion-sized, and child-friendly snack options corresponding to on-the-go lives and clean-label food trends. Industry size is growing as it continues to be repositioned from kids' snack to mainstream high-protein dairy product appropriate for adults and health-aware consumers.
The cheese has traditionally been made with mozzarella or mozzarella-cheddar mixtures and processed using a stretching and alignment method that makes it peel able. The popularity of the cheese stems from its ease of packaging, high protein and calcium levels, and shelf life without sacrifice of taste. Increased demand by retail and institutional customers-schools, gyms, airlines, and corporate cafeterias-is driving bulk and single-serve product forms.
