Frozen Cheese Market Expected to Climb to USD 20.7 Billion by 2035 Amid Rising Global Consumption

A new market analysis reveals the global Frozen Cheese Market is on a robust growth trajectory, set to expand from an estimated USD 11.6 billion in 2025 to a projected USD 20.7 billion by 2035. This expansion represents a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0% over the forecast period, accelerating from the 5.5% CAGR observed historically between 2020 and 2024. The findings, which provide a comprehensive look into market dynamics, competitive landscapes, and regional trends, underscore the rising consumer and industry reliance on frozen cheese as a convenient and long-lasting dairy solution.

The market’s strong performance is driven by a confluence of factors, most notably the growing global demand for ready-to-use food products across the foodservice, retail, and institutional sectors. Innovations in processing technologies, such as Individual Quick Freezing (IQF), have been pivotal, enabling manufacturers to preserve cheese quality, taste, and texture without the use of excessive preservatives.

This has made frozen cheese an ideal alternative to fresh cheese for a wide range of culinary applications, from pizzas and pastas to prepared meals and snacks. Improved temperature-controlled logistics and expanding organized retail infrastructure are further enhancing the product’s reach, especially in developing urban and semi-urban markets.

A closer look at market segments highlights the continuing dominance of cow cheese, which is poised to account for 58.2% of total revenue by 2025. This segment’s leadership is anchored by high global production volumes, consumer familiarity, and its versatile application in various frozen formats, including shredded, sliced, and block forms.

In terms of sales channels, offline retail outlets, such as supermarkets and hypermarkets, are expected to command 29% of the market in 2025, buoyed by their robust cold storage capabilities and a consumer preference for in-person inspection of frozen goods. However, the future points to a significant shift, as online sales channels are forecast to grow at an impressive 6.7% CAGR, eventually representing 50% of all frozen cheese sales, driven by e-commerce expansion and changing consumer purchasing habits.

Geographically, North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific are identified as the key growth regions. The United States, in particular, remains a powerhouse, accounting for approximately 23% of the global market with a value of USD 11.6 billion in 2025. Its growth is fueled by the easy availability of diverse brands and the high consumption of fast foods.

Similarly, India is emerging as a promising market, valued at USD 0.9 billion in 2025 (approximately 18% of the global market). The rise in ready-to-eat food demand, a growing number of frozen cheese startups, and a cultural shift towards international cuisines are accelerating sales in the country.

The competitive landscape is marked by strategic moves aimed at consolidating market positions and expanding product portfolios. Key players like Eurial, Savencia Fromage and Dairy, and Delamere Dairy are at the forefront of this evolution. Recent activities include Nomad Foods’ acquisition of Fortenova’s frozen assets and BelGioioso’s acquisition of the Polly-O Cheese Brand. Eurial, for example, is leveraging its IQF technology and focusing on international expansion, with its international activity already representing over 35% of its turnover.

Abergavenny Fine Food Co., with its focus on local sourcing and partnerships, and Delamere Dairy, with its expanding international exports and focus on sustainable packaging, further exemplify the strategic innovations driving the market. As consumer demand for convenience and long-lasting dairy products continues to climb, these market leaders and new entrants are well-positioned to capitalize on the sustained growth of the frozen cheese sector.
