Major retailers are adopting e-commerce platforms to captivate a larger market

  • The off-trade segment dominates the distribution channels of the Europe non-dairy cheese market. In the off-trade segment, the online retail channel sub-segment is the fastest-growing one and is projected to record a CAGR of 27.3% over the forecast period. The growth of e-commerce provides companies the opportunity to access a larger target market and effectively serve customer needs. Many people started ordering dairy alternatives like non-dairy cheese online due to their hectic schedules and the nationwide lockdown in 2020. The four main e-commerce channels for dairy alternatives were direct-to-consumer, click-and-collect, retail grocery delivery, and concierge services.
  • Globally, the sales of non-dairy cheese through on-trade channels in terms of value declined by 3.51% in 2020 compared to 2019 as foodservice sectors were shut down due to the outbreak. In 2020, there were 65,090 restaurants in Germany, a decrease of 8.49% from 2019. Based on the distribution channel, the overall non-dairy cheese consumption was around 0.03 kg per person in 2022. The rapid establishment of vegan restaurants and the introduction of vegan options in menus are likely to propel the non-dairy cheese market during the forecast period.
  • In the off-trade segment, supermarkets and hypermarkets accounted for a major share of 58.3% by value. These retail channels have a strong position due to the wide selection of brands offered, considerable shelf space, and frequent price promotions. The demand for dairy alternative products is rising, including non-dairy cheese that is widely accessible at supermarkets and online retailers. The omnichannel approach adopted by major retailers globally is driving the non-dairy cheese market.
Europe Non-dairy Cheese Market

The rise in flexitarian and vegetarian populations across Spain, Germany, and U.K. is estimated to drive future market demand.

  • The per capita consumption of non-dairy cheese is estimated to reach 1.69 kg annually in 2029, up by 103.56% from 0.83 kg in 2023. Non-dairy cheese has significant penetration across Germany and the United Kingdom, as vegetarians and flexitarians in the countries are most likely to replace conventional cheese with plant-based cheese products. Regarding plant-based cheese, 38% of UK consumers were looking for plant-based sliced cheese at supermarkets in 2020.

In 2020, 30% of consumers were flexitarian in Spain, and 6% were vegan and vegetarian.
  • High consumer awareness about plant-based nutrition and favorable macroeconomic environments are the key factors shaping the European non-dairy cheese industry. The EU's 2022 promotional policy will encourage a shift to more plant-based diets after branding red and processed meat as a cancer risk. This will create opportunities across the foodservice industry. In Germany, Pizza Hut offers three permanent vegan pizzas topped with Violife plant-based cheese. Other fast-food chains such as Domino's, McDonald's, Greggs, and Subway also use non-dairy cheese in their vegan dishes. The sales value of non-dairy cheese in Germany is estimated to grow, registering a CAGR of 20.01% during the forecast period and reaching a market value of USD 613.87 million by 2029.
