Estonia`s reliance on rennet imports continues, with Denmark, Spain, Belgium, USA, and Metropolitan France leading the pack in 2024. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market. Despite a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.11% from 2020 to 2024, there was a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -9.75%. This data suggests a stable demand for rennet imports in Estonia, with key players maintaining their dominance in the market.

In the Europe region, the Rennet market in Estonia is projected to expand at a negative growth rate of -0.05% by 2027. The largest economy is Germany, followed by United Kingdom, France, Italy and Russia.

The rennet market in Estonia is growing as the dairy industry increasingly relies on enzymes for cheese production. Rennet is a natural enzyme used to coagulate milk, facilitating the production of cheese. With a strong dairy sector in Estonia, both for domestic consumption and export, the demand for rennet is on the rise. As the market for artisanal and specialty cheeses grows, particularly in the European Union, the demand for high-quality rennet, both animal-derived and microbial, is increasing.
The rennet market in Estonia is driven by the increasing demand for cheese production, as rennet is a crucial enzyme used in the cheese-making process. With a rich tradition in dairy farming and cheese production, Estonia has seen a steady growth in the demand for high-quality rennet to support both domestic and export markets. As the global appetite for diverse and high-quality cheeses grows, so does the need for efficient and reliable rennet. Additionally, the growing trend towards organic and natural food products is also influencing the rennet market, with a rising preference for plant-based and microbial rennet in place of animal-derived rennet.
The Estonia Rennet Market faces challenges related to supply chain disruptions and competition from microbial alternatives. Rennet, traditionally derived from the stomach lining of calves, is an essential ingredient in cheese production. However, the supply of animal-derived rennet is subject to fluctuations in livestock farming, which can impact availability and cost. Additionally, there is increasing demand for vegetarian and microbial rennet alternatives, which do not rely on animal sources. While these alternatives are more sustainable and align with changing consumer preferences, they often face higher production costs, which can make them less economically viable for small-scale producers.
The Estonian government promotes the rennet market by encouraging sustainable practices in the dairy industry. Policies support investments in biotechnology for microbial rennet production, enhancing the quality and sustainability of cheese manufacturing.
