Segmental Review

Source, category and distribution channel are the top market segments outlined in the MRFR report.

The sources of cream cheese products include soy, milk, coconut, almond, and more. The most extensively used source for cream cheese is coconut. Most of the companies are increasingly deploying coconut milk since it offers more consistency. Coconut milk and products derived from it to make cream cheese offer an array of health benefits, including disease prevention, improvement of the immune system, faster hair growth, and reduction in risks of anemia.

Depending on category, the key segments are flavored and plain. Flavored category of cream cheese has taken the leading spot in the global market and will also capture the highest growth rate in the years to come. These types of cream cheese have additional flavors that appeal to the varying tastes of the consumers and help foster the sales.

Distribution channels that sell cream cheeses are either store-based or non-store-based products. Convenience stores, supermarkets & hypermarkets, and more are the major store-based channels and hold the leading position in the global market. With the provision of a one-stop experience for shoppers, store-based outlets have garnered high traction worldwide. But it is projected that the fastest growth will be noted by the non-store-based segment in the coming years, owing to the rising popularity of online shopping sites and the overall growth of the e-commerce industry.
