2022 marked a year of innovation for dairy alternatives in cheese. In addition to the aforementioned examples, Kraft Heinz entered a joint venture with The Not Company to develop plant-based cheeses for its Philadelphia cream cheese brand; and Bel Groupe was prolific with the launch of a plant-based Babybel, expanding on its existing Boursin dairy-free cheese spread, with plans to also launch a plant-based Laughing Cow in 2023.
In past years there were several record-breaking heat waves, temperature increases, and desertification trends in cattle growing regions both in the US and globally, which brought about long-term challenges for dairy in general and cheese in particular. First, these climate events put stress on dairy cows, to a health-risking level in some cases of heat waves, sometimes leading to animal culling to maintain healthy herds.
Inflation was persistent in 2021 and 2022, with a slight slowdown in 2023. Consumers have slowly been adapting to a new consumption environment, overshadowed by inflationary pressures, and leading to a calculated, less impulsive, frugal shopping basket for their household.
