Cheese powder is dehydrated cheese, which is manufactured and marketed in different types such as cheddar, parmesan, mozzarella, and others. The most common commercial procedure to prepare cheese powder includes melting of fresh cheese, followed by spraying it through a hot dryer to get thick powder. Cheese powder offers a unique combination of taste, flavor, functionality, and convenience in products such as sauces, dips and dressings, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals. Cheese powder is gaining popularity among consumers due to its longer shelf life and ease of handling and storage as compared to cheese.
Key factors such as rapidly growing processed food industries and shifting consumer preference towards convenience food play major role in growth of global cheese powder market. However, strict and changing government regulations imposed on use of food ingredients is a key challenge for manufacturers, which is restraining growth of the global cheese powder market.

Under this regulation, if pasteurized dairy ingredients are used then the phenol equivalent value of 0.25 gram of cheddar cheese should not more than 3 micrograms. Rising prevalence of diabetes, heart diseases and obesity are also factors restraining growth of global cheese powder market over the forecast period.
