Cheese production is both a capital- and labour-intensive process to maintain, with costs expected to increase over the forecast period. The first cost concern is raw materials, namely fresh milk.
In 2024, demand for premium cheese in South Africa remains stable, sustained primarily by the spending habits of affluent consumers, although they comprise a small proportion of overall sales. Despite the broader economic environment, wealthy consumers maintain their preference for premium and artisanal cheese, driving demand in this specialised segment.
Despite the challenges faced by South Africa’s dairy industry, there remains a high level of investment in dairy production, including cheese manufacturers and other stakeholders. As a result, further investment is expected, improving medium-term cheese production.
