Cheese Price Trend 2025

Asia

The major factor influencing the price of cheese in Asia during 2025 was the changes in supply from the global market and the buying habits of the importers. There was a significant increase in milk production from the global market. Due to this increase in supply from the global market, the prices of butter, milk, and cheese decreased. Since supply was higher than demand, many countries in Asia decreased their large-scale purchasing of cheese and started relying on local production and previous stocks. Therefore, the prices of cheese in Asia decreased slightly.

Europe

In Europe, the prices of cheese were quite mixed in the year 2025. The global production of milk was quite high, which led to the fall of prices of dairy commodities, especially cheese, especially during the latter part of the year. The producers in Europe were faced with increased competition, especially in the export market, which included the United States. The EU-based exporters were in a slightly stronger position compared to the UK-based exporters, especially in terms of tariff rates. At the same time, the high production of dairy commodities in the EU and the surrounding countries contributed to the prices. Therefore, there was a gradual fall in the prices of cheese in Europe.

North America

In North America, cheese prices were affected by both trade policies and global supply growth. The uncertainty of trade policies for cheese exporters and retailers resulted in businesses trying to absorb the costs of higher prices for consumers. Nevertheless, businesses were anticipating that they could pass on these costs to consumers in the future, which could have a potential impact on food inflation. On the other hand, strong milk production in key exporting countries resulted in a strong global cheese supply, causing cheese prices to fall. The United States was a strong cheese producer and competitor, especially with the rise of domestic cheese production. Thus, cheese prices in North America were affected by both higher supply and trade policy uncertainty.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, Cheese prices are anticipated to face downward pressure owing to strong milk production globally and a strong supply.
