PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Robust performance but the category remains weather dependent
Ice cream is predicted to continue seeing growth throughout the forecast period with plant-based ice cream seeing the highest CAGR, although very closely followed by dairy bulk ice cream. Plant-based ice cream has seen its growth slow due to the lower innovation in dairy ice cream, in terms of household flavours and brands.
Smaller bite-sized formats to gain appeal
The trend of smaller bite-sized portions is likely to become widespread across all brands as well as private label, which has yet to embrace this format. Mochi products continue to see significant popularity amongst French consumers with these products perceived to be healthier than other ice cream products while also tapping into the growing demand for portion control and new taste experiences.
Innovative new flavours are likely to propel category growth
Flavour combinations in ice cream are becoming more exotic with a combination of sweet and savoury flavours being seen. Flavours inspired by global locations from around the world are also becoming more commonplace.
