With the introduction of attractive new products having emerged as a key strategy among cheese companies looking to recover from the COVID-19 situation, it is likely that further new product development will be seen across all cheese categories during the forecast period. Within this context, it is highly likely that new products will reflect the enhanced need for convenience among those living in Dublin and other cities as the pace of life continues to accelerate.
During the forecast period, it is likely that high levels of unit price inflation will undermine demand across a variety of packaged food categories. However, it is expected that cheese will escape the worst of these effects, with the oversupply of dairy on the local market on the one hand and the increasing competition that is developing between premium brands and more economical forms of cheese such as private label likely to shield the category from the worst effects of price inflation.
The cheese category in Ireland will remain highly fragmented and feature dozens of minor producers, without a single major, leading brand. While much of the variety will stem from the continuous positive perception of branded cheese, attributed to marketing expenditure and information campaigns to underline the benefits of branded products over private label, the increasing importance of low prices in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic will mean private label and less well-known brands will likely provide strong competition for brands.
