The outlook for Ecuador’s ice cream market is generally positive, with the take-home offerings - particularly multi-pack dairy ice cream - expected to see slightly stronger performance than impulse products. This shift reflects a growing preference for value-driven options, as households continue to manage spending carefully amid ongoing economic challenges.
The ice cream market in Ecuador has seen strong marketing investment from major players, particularly Industrias Lácteas Toni and Unilever. Both companies are focusing on innovative campaigns and strategic partnerships to boost brand visibility and deepen consumer engagement.
Looking ahead, most product innovation in Ecuador’s ice cream market is expected to focus on developing new flavours, as brands seek to refresh their portfolios and attract both existing and new customers. A notable example comes from the Unilever stable, in the form of Pingüino’s recent launch of Gigante Fresa - a strawberry-flavoured twist on its well-known Gigante line.
