The vegan cheese market size is projected to be valued at US$ 3,313.98 million in 2023 and is expected to rise to US$ 8,064.01 million by 2033. The sales of vegan cheese are expected to record a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period.

Millennials in particular are becoming more accepting of veganism, which has sparked industry growth. Due to increased public awareness of animal cruelty and the negative environmental effects of the dairy industry, consumers are increasingly choosing products that are made from plants.

Vegan cheese often contains less fat and is gluten-free than normal cheese. One of the main factors driving the market expansion is the huge increase in the consumption of Ready-To-Eat (RTE) packaged vegan food and drinks as well as gluten-free and plant-based diets.

Players are introducing product variants that have undergone minimal processing and are high in healthy fats, fiber, and micronutrients. Also, they are forming partnerships with fast food chains to provide vegan cheese-based pizza, cream cheese, and cheesecake. The market will be fueled by the increasing prevalence of lactose intolerance and the simpler accessibility of dairy-free products. Along with the growing trend of purchasing vegan cheese through online distribution channels, which offer simple product availability, comprehensive catalogs, and expedited shipping options, this is assisting in boosting the market. In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that protracted promotional campaigns and celebrity endorsements by product manufacturers on social media platforms are likely to have a positive impact on vegan cheese sales.
