Drivers and Restraints:
Increasing Demand for Plant-based Cheese to Drive the Market Growth
Plant-based cheese is a dairy alternative primarily made from cashew, soy, almond, and others. The growing trend of veganism and rising preferences for plant-based food propel the demand for plant-based products. Hence, increasing veganism and launching more plant-based products will drive the cheese market growth during the projected period.
Many consumers are allergic to caesin, a protein in cheese. Caesin allergy causes acne, headaches, inflammation, and rashes. Hence, health risks and issues associated with caesin are predicted to hinder the market growth.
