•

Any natural or processed cheese product in typical snack format.

•

Any snack product that contains a significant proportion of cheese content and that is likely to be found in the cheese aisle in retail channels.

coverage Innovation and new product development shaping the global market for cheese snacks from predominantly January 2016 through to April 2018 inclusive.

Some older products have been profiled to illustrate certain trends, particularly in markets across Asia - where snack formats and flavours are often far more advanced than other markets - where it has been deemed useful to map these established brands for the benefit of innovators in other markets.

The coverage accommodates both established markets where innovations are fast-moving and varied, as well as emerging markets where new products take longer to be adopted.
