Between 2011 and 2021, the price per kilogram of cheese and curd in Finland showed variability, beginning at €7.96 in 2011 and moving through lows and rebounds to reach €7.44 in 2021. A notable drop occurred from 2012 to 2014, followed by a gradual recovery. Over the last two years, the year-on-year price change averaged moderately positive, reflecting an ongoing recovery since the mid-2010s. The five-year compound annual growth rate from 2016 to 2021 was slight, showing a stabilization with minor year-to-year fluctuations.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impact of global supply chain disruptions on cheese pricing
- Potential influence of dairy-free alternatives on market dynamics
- Economic factors such as inflation affecting consumer purchasing power
- Population dietary shifts towards local and artisanal products
