Cheese Powder Market Size worth USD 2.15 billion by 2030, Says Mordor Intelligence

HYDERABAD, India, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Mordor Intelligence, the global cheese powder market is witnessing strong growth, driven by rising demand for convenience foods, the expansion of Western food chains in developing economies, and advances in cheese processing technologies. The cheese powder market size is projected to grow from USD 1.48 billion in 2025 to USD 2.15 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.71% over the forecast period 2025-2030. This market expansion is fueled by rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and the increasing adoption of Western eating habits, particularly in Asia-Pacific. Spray-dried cheese powder is emerging as a key segment due to its longer shelf life, ease of transport, and ability to deliver consistent taste across applications such as sauces, dips, packaged snacks, and processed foods. Its versatility continues to drive growth across both developed and emerging regions.

Key Trends and Drivers

Western Food Chains Shaping Market Demand

The rapid expansion of Western quick-service restaurants (QSRs) in developing economies has significantly boosted the demand for cheese powder as a reliable flavoring ingredient. Standardized supply chains established by international brands ensure consistent product quality while reducing reliance on cold storage infrastructure. These practices have influenced local producers to replicate successful formulations, further embedding cheese powder into regional food systems. For example, the increasing presence of fast-food chains in Asia-Pacific markets has accelerated demand for mozzarella powder, closely linked to the rising global consumption of pizza products.

Convenience Foods and Snacking Trends Driving Consumption

Changing lifestyles, busy work schedules, and an emphasis on quick meal solutions continue to shape consumer behavior. Cheese powder is increasingly integrated into ready meals, instant noodles, soups, and bakery products due to its ease of use and storage advantages. The snacking industry has emerged as a major growth avenue, with cheese-flavored snacks such as chips, puffs, and crackers witnessing strong consumer traction across all age groups. As global snacking patterns evolve, the report emphasizes the strategic role of cheese powder in delivering authentic taste experiences while balancing health and nutrition demands.

Technological Advancements and Market Innovation

Innovation remains at the core of market competition. Food scientists and ingredient manufacturers are investing in microencapsulation technologies to preserve cheese aroma and flavor while enhancing functionality in diverse food systems. Manufacturers are also focusing on clean-label solutions, addressing growing consumer demand for natural ingredients with no artificial additives. Such innovations are driving premium product launches across mozzarella, cheddar, and specialty cheese powder segments.

Europe maintains steady growth with strict quality standards that favor established manufacturers. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific emerges as the fastest-growing market, with China, India, and Southeast Asia leading demand for cheese-flavored products. The region's expanding middle class, rapid urbanization, and exposure to international cuisines further enhance market potential.

Competitive Landscape
