Emerging Trends Shaping the Cheese Market
Leading cheese manufacturers are turning to innovative solutions, including plant-based alternatives, to meet evolving consumer demands. One example gaining traction is plant-based mac & cheese, a dairy-free version of the classic comfort food made with pasta and creamy sauces derived from nuts or vegetables, providing a vegan-friendly option that closely mimics traditional flavors.

For instance, in November 2023, Kraft Heinz, a major US-based food company, introduced a plant-based mac & cheese product. This launch aims to satisfy growing consumer interest in plant-based foods by offering the familiar creamy taste of Kraft Mac & Cheese but without dairy ingredients. Kraft's Not-Mac & Cheese is slated for nationwide release in early 2024, expanding the company's plant-based product range and leveraging AI technology to create appealing plant-based meals.
