In 2023, the sold production of grated, powdered, blue-veined, and other non-processed cheese in Italy was valued at approximately 8 billion Euros. From 2024 onwards, forecasts indicate steady growth, with values increasing yearly. By 2028, this figure is expected to reach nearly 8.9 billion Euros.
The year-on-year growth rate reveals a consistent upward trend, highlighting industry resilience and stable demand. Over the next five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is estimated to remain positive, reflecting an average yearly increase from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch include shifting consumer preferences towards artisanal and specialty cheeses, impacts of climate change on production, and potential trade policy changes that could influence export dynamics. Additionally, evolving sustainability practices may also play a significant role in shaping the industry's future landscape.
