PROSPECTS

Dutch continue to look for innovative cheese types and consumption occasions

Cheese continued to record low retail volume growth in 2019, due to stagnation recorded by the largest category of hard cheese. This type of cheese was traditionally consumed with bread as a breakfast option or in sandwiches for lunch.

Imported cheese types continue to increase in popularity

The Dutch are becoming increasingly interested in the origins of what they consume, which is leading to rising demand for cheese with Protected Designation of Origin, resulting in the increasing popularity of goat cheese and imported types such as mozzarella, parmesan and ricotta, with the latter supporting the ongoing positive performance of soft cheese. Italian cuisine is fairly popular in the Netherlands with consumers increasingly cooking with products from this country.

Snacking cheese seen as healthy source of protein for children

The rising popularity of cheese as a snack was driven by demand for processed cheese brands such as Babybel and La Vache Qui Rit due to offering individually wrapped portions; both are distributed by Beldis Nederland for Groupe Bel. The launch of La Vache Qui Rit Cheez Dippers and Babybel mini pack of 16 cheeses both target families with children, as these products are a suitable source of protein and fit well into packed lunches for school.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Private label continues to place pressure on branded cheese

Branded cheese producers continued to experience increasing pressure from private label offered by popular retailers with the first three positions held by AH from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and Superunie from CIV Superunie. Collectively, private label continued to gain value share from highly-ranked companies such as Royal FrieslandCampina (Milner) and Westland Kaasexport BV (Old Amsterdam) in 2019, although fourth-ranked Beemster from CONO Kaasmakers continued to slowly gain share and record positive value growth.

Heks'nkaas offers consumers differentiation as alternative dip

Heksenkaas BV strengthened its leadership of spreadable processed cheese in 2019 offering leading brand Heks'nkaas. What distinguishes this brand from competitors such as Philadelphia and Campina Slankie, is that it is often used as a dip that is served with aperitifs rather than a cheese to be spread on bread, therefore benefiting from differentiation.

Boursin launches new creamier variant

Soft cheese brand Boursin launched a new variant of its traditional flavoured cream cheese. This was positioned as softer and creamer in texture offering a variation of consumption as it can be used as a spread or as a dip, with the latter becoming increasingly popular amongst the Dutch, who continue to search for new interesting ways to consume cheese, with a further move away from cheese on bread.
