The IQF process helps extend the cheese’s shelf life, making it an attractive option for retailers and food service providers. This helps to reduce food waste and increase profitability for businesses. Therefore, there is an increase in production of cheese.

Companies are investing in research and development to create new frozen cheese products that meet consumers' changing needs and preferences. This includes the development of new flavors, textures, and packaging options. As consumers become more health-conscious, there is a growing demand for frozen cheese products that are lower in calories, fat, and sodium and contain natural, organic, or non-GMO ingredients.

Europe dominated the global market. It is encouraging for quick meals and ready-to-go items in the region's foodservice industry that there is growing awareness of the advantages of IQF over conventional freezing techniques. The health advantages of goat cheese, such as a lower risk of allergies, easy digestion, and a lower risk of infantile constipation, have also contributed to a sharp rise in demand over the past ten years.
