Ice cream is set to score slight current value growth over the forecast period, though sales are expected to fall at constant 2025 prices, with volumes set to stagnate. Demand will be supported by unit prices going down over the forecast period, following several years of unit price increases.
Innovation in ice cream is increasingly being driven by advances in manufacturing, ingredient processing, and digital traceability. Brands are leveraging precision portioning and automated moulding to create smaller, more convenient formats like ice cream pralines and sticks, catering to the trend of mindful indulgence.
In 2024/2025, leading manufacturer, Glacio, distributor of Ijsboerke in Belgium, focused its innovation activity on smaller formats, ice cream pralines and sticks such as the new launch, Frisko Noisella. Given consumers’ growing interest in mindful indulgence, the company plans to relaunch its low-fat and low-sugar Ijsboerke line based on a new recipe from 2026.
