Market Overview: 

Cheese Snacks are establishing their place in the France snacking scene as customers look for indulgence and nutrition in a convenient package. Cheese snacks come in cheese cubes, puffs, spreads, crackers, frozen bites, and processed cheese sticks. Due to its culture of cheese richness, France has also exhibited high consumer favouritism towards traditional and novel cheese snack formats. Although IAEA does not use international varieties such as cheddar and mozzarella, international varieties have also become popular among some of the local companies, and their application is growing in processed and ready-to-eat foods. Demand for convenience foods, school lunchbox food, and snack foods on the go has led to manufacturers introducing new ambient and frozen shelf products. Frozen cheese snacks are also becoming popular as air-fried and repeatable food has become popular in urban families due to changing lifestyles among consumers. Additionally, natural ingredients, gourmet flavour profiles, and protein content have emerged as major product differentiators in this category.
