TRENDS

The cheese category remained more or less stable in 2017. Generally cheese, which is consumed in the traditional Dutch way – on sliced bread for breakfast and lunch – continued to decline. All other types of cheese consumption saw further growth and compensated for the loss in sales of traditional cheeses. All cheeses used predominantly for cooking or snacking registered positive development. Eating habits continued to change and consumers ate more Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food, for example. For these foreign recipes it is more common to eat cheese during evening meals and consumers ate more pasta with cheese or salads with cheese. These changes in eating habits helped the cheese category to remain stable.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Dairy giant Royal FrieslandCampina is the leading branded player in the cheese category, although Albert Heijn, with its AH private label, has a slightly bigger share. Royal FrieslandCampina owns major cheese brands such as Milner, Frico and Campina. The share of the company declined as its brands Milner and Frico did not perform well. Royal FrieslandCampina has a strong position in reduced fat cheese with its leading Milner brand, which is a brand specifically developed for this category. The problem for the brand was that reduced fat cheese in general was in decline. Consumers preferred natural products and some viewed reduced fat cheese as less natural and more processed than regular full fat cheese. In 2016 Royal FrieslandCampina launched its Campina brand for cheese and this launch was successful. The sales of the new Campina range partly offset the loss in sales of both Milner and Frico.

PROSPECTS

The outlook for cheese is negative as for the forecast period a decline in retail value sales is predicted. The major issue for the category is that the change in behaviour in terms of traditional breakfast and lunch consumption is unlikely to be a passing trend. It is expected that this change in eating habits will have a long term negative effect on hard cheese in particular. As hard cheese is the largest category within cheese the negative outlook for this type of cheese has consequences for the development of the category as a whole.
