During the forecast period, it is likely that cheese in Ireland will remain a highly fragmented category, with much of the category’s sales divided among numerous smaller producers and no single brand or manufacturer able to establish a dominant position. While this means considerable variety in the category, it is also a sign of very positive perceptions surrounding branded packaged cheese, which can be seen as the result of high marketing expenditure and informational campaigns that highlight the benefits of branded products over private label offerings.
With demand for alternatives to meat expected to continue rising significantly in Ireland during the forecast period, Groupe Lactalis is taking the initiative by claiming to have reinvented the cheese burger with the launch of its latest new product: Seriously Cheese Burgers. Instead of adding a slice of cheese to a meat patty, this new product represents an indulgent vegetarian alternative to meat patties.
The forecast period is expected to see a continuation of the trend towards consumers preparing their own meals at home from scratch using fresh ingredients, a situation which will inevitably be positive for cheese consumption. This trend has remained strong during the post-pandemic era, particularly in the form of making breakfast a real event and an opportunity to spend time with friends and family.
