チーズの市場レポート：ソース別、タイプ別、製品別、フォーマット別、流通チャネル別、地域別、2025年～2033年

世界のチーズの市場規模は、2024年に933億米ドルに達しました。今後、IMARC Groupは、市場は2033年までに1,530億米ドルに達し、2025年から2033年にかけて5.08%の成長率（CAGR）を示すと予測しています。チーズ生産における新たな技術進歩が、外食産業の拡大とともに、主に市場成長を牽引しています。

チーズは乳タンパク質（主にカゼイン）を酵素や酸を加えて凝固させて製造される乳製品です。この工程で、固形成分である凝乳が液体のホエーから分離されます。凝乳は水切り、圧搾、時には熟成によってさらに加工され、独特の食感、風味、特徴を持つ数多くの種類が生まれます。カルシウム、タンパク質、ビタミンなどの必須栄養素が豊富に含まれています。一般的に知られている製品タイプには、チェダー、モッツァレラ、ブリーなどがあります。汎用性の高い食材であり、サンドイッチからグルメ料理まで、数多くの料理の味と食感を向上させます。

この市場を牽引しているのは、主に、便利でタンパク質が豊富な食品に対する消費者の食生活の選好の進化です。加えて、レストラン、カフェ、ファストフード・チェーンなど、成長著しい外食産業で、ピザ、ハンバーガー、パスタなど様々な料理に使用される製品が増えていることも、市場成長に影響を与えています。さらに、メーカーは、さまざまな消費者の選好や食事要件に対応するため、職人技を駆使したもの、風味豊かなもの、植物由来のものなど、複数の製品を投入しており、これも成長を促す大きな要因となっています。このほか、食間の間食傾向の高まりは、そのまま、あるいはパッケージ・スナックの原材料として、便利で風味豊かなスナックの選択肢として製品の消費を増加させており、市場成長を後押ししています。さらに、効果的なマーケティング・キャンペーン、料理ショー、ソーシャルメディアは、数多くの料理の味と食感を向上させるための製品需要をエスカレートさせており、市場の成長を促進しています。
