The Global Cheese Market Report 2000-‐2015 - Moproweb

Private label has gained market shares during the GFC and this trend is expected to continue in the
future.
8. Future prospects
The Croatian cheese production and market is relatively small but in spite of this it has attracted a
lot of interest from foreign dairy companies with Lactalis in the lead. The coming EU membership
is the major reason, and the possibilities to get further access to the dairy market. This is also
expected to have a positive effect on the cheese market and the future prospects from 2010 to
2015 are:
• The production will increase by 4,000 MT but this is only to regain the level before the
GFC.
• The export remains stable at a very level but the import will increase by 8,000 MT
especially due to the coming EU membership.
• The consumption will soar in line with the economic recovery with 10,000 MT.
