Global Mozzarella Cheese Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The global mozzarella cheese market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.38% over the forecast period to reach a market size of US$26.110 billion in 2030, up from US$20.094 billion in 2025.
Mozzarella Cheese is an Italian cheese product produced from Italian buffalo’s milk using the pasta filet method. The color of the cheese is usually white but may vary according to the animal’s diet and the output of the milk. The cheese has a higher moisture content, and because of that, it is usually served the day after it is made. It can be kept in vacuum-sealed packages for a significant amount of time. Several types of mozzarella cheese are used for various kinds of pizza and pasta dishes, and it is also used or served with basil and sliced tomatoes. Several variants of the cheese have been formulated over time. One of them is low-moisture mozzarella cheese, which is used especially on pizza. This variant type is widely used in the food service industry because of its minimum galactose content.
Consumer preference toward moderate or minimum brewing for cheese on pizza has led to the adoption of different types of mozzarella cheese variants.
In Italy, the buffalo milk is used to prepare the mozzarella cheese. Most of the prepared or made mozzarella cheese is from approved buffalo milk and only in certain countries. The cheese's significance is greater than the mozzarella, which uses semi-coagulated milk and other nonitalian cheddars. These types of cheeses can also be produced using cow’s cheese, sheep’s cheese, and even goat’s cheese, with the goat cheese variety gaining popularity since it’s easier to digest than cow’s milk. However, it is a relatively new approach to cheese production and currently does not have many manufacturers.
Mozzarella made from cow’s milk is cheaper than the one made from buffalo milk. Major companies have been developing clean, healthy, and nutritious mozzarella cheese products, with plant-based cheese generating significant demand in the market. The companies and startups have been playing an imperative role in the growth of the market.
