Drivers & Restraints:

Increasing Product Innovation to Drive Market Growth

Traditional ice cream is nutrient-dense, yet it has no health benefits. As a result, the market players are showing growing interest in fortification and the addition of beneficial ingredients that may encourage consumers to select the product as a healthy snack option. Functional foods have advantages above and beyond basic nutrition, and they may help to reduce or eliminate the risk of certain diseases. The global consumption of fortified or functional products is predicted to rise due to increased production, thereby augmenting the ice cream market growth in the forthcoming years.

However, low shelf life and seasonality could affect the product consumption to some extent.

Asia Pacific dominated the ice cream market share in 2021 and is expected to grow at 5.63% CAGR over the forecast period. Fast food’s growing popularity, increased disposable income, rapid urbanization, and the influence of western cuisine and culture have all boosted product consumption throughout Asia Pacific.

North America is expected to capture the second-largest share in the market. The growing number of fast-food chains in the region and the widespread use of natural ingredients in the creation of frozen dairy products are pushing the product consumption.

The European market has evolved as major corporations have adjusted their product portfolios in response to consumer interest and demand.
