  • PostDate：2022-06-20

Mozzarella cheese is a traditional southern Italian cheese. The finished cheese is lightly salted, white, soft and shiny, with unique ductility. It is one of the essential ingredients for making fine pizza. 

Mozzarella cheese is known in Italy as the "flower of cheese" because of its moist and creamy texture, which makes it ideal for pastries and is even better served with tomatoes and olive oil.

Stick mozzarella cheese accounted for 9.98%of the market, while other cheeses, such as crumbled and cubed ones, were less popular, with less than 5%.

Market analysis of mozzarella cheese in different regions and the impact of the epidemic on the industry 

In terms of regions, North America is the largest revenue market for mozzarella cheese industry in the world. In 2020, the revenue of North America mozzarella cheese market was $6371.46 million, accounting for 36.05% of the global market share.  Secondly, the Asia-pacific market with $5050.86 million of market revenue, accounting for 28.58% of the share, ranked the second;  Europe ranked third, accounting for 27.53% of the market, only 1.05% less than the Asia-Pacific market, with revenue of $4864.42 million.

In Italy, the mozzarella cheese industry is a highly valued industry, protected by professional associations.  Mozzarella cheese is known around the world for its excellent quality and is the perfect choice for adding flavor to a range of foods, from salads to pizzas.  And the coronavirus lockdown has caused sales of mozzarella cheese to plummet in the past few months, and even raw milk made from the cheese has been badly damaged. 

The blockade will have a profound impact on the upstream supply chain, leading to changes in product mix in response to major changes in product demand, mainly due to weak demand for cheese, thereby avoiding mass production of mozzarella cheese and processed cheese.  In the US, Cornell University agricultural economist Andrew Novakovich warns that small dairies and small processors are facing severe economic difficulties, given the disruption to the food services industry and the destruction of export demand. 

In addition to providing local sales, a large portion of mozzarella cheese is exported, which has also been cut off by foreign trade restrictions caused by the pandemic.  Several countries have shut down the country, logistics have slowed and overseas orders have plummeted.  The disruption of the entire industrial chain leads to a sharp drop in product sales, and small businesses will suffer a huge blow.
