Feta Cheese Source Segment Analysis

According to Cognitive Market Research, the sheep milk category dominated the market in 2023. Because it is superior to cow, goat, and buffalo milk in all respects, the demand for sheep milk is growing. The market is expanding due to the preference shift for using sheep milk to make high-quality, high-yield cheese. In addition, new genetically modified sheep are utilized for high milk production to solve issues like seasonal milking and a lack of milk supply, which spur market expansion.

Furthermore, the goat milk category held the second largest share in the market due to its homogeneous makeup and increased concentration of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin C. Due to less fat and cholesterol, feta cheese manufactured from goat milk is in high demand. Cream cheese has fewer calories than other dairy products, which is good for your health.
