Chocolate is expected to hold a significant ice cream market share as chocolate flavoured ice creams are versatile products
According to the ice cream market analysis, chocolate-flavoured ice creams are versatile and find use in preparing various ice cream-based shakes, cold coffees, and smoothies. Further, cocoa used to produce chocolate ice cream is rich in flavanol, which can improve cardiovascular health.
Vanilla is a globally popular flavour. Consumers who are not very fond of strong flavours or scents prefer vanilla ice creams that are creamy and lightly flavoured.
The use of natural fruits, either canned or fresh, in ice creams, aids their demand among consumers demanding healthier ice cream versions. Consumer interest in premium and healthy ice creams supports the demand for fruit-flavoured ice creams.
The impulse ice cream segment is expected to hold a significant ice cream market share owing to various strategies adopted by retail stores
Retail stores use point-of-sale (PoS) materials and branded cabinets placed strategically in visible locations to support impulse ice cream sales. The warmer months are crucial for impulse ice cream sales in varied formats, such as cups, cones, and sandwich ice creams.
Factors influencing the demand for take-home ice creams are improved packaging and widespread availability of family packs and bricks support the market for take-home ice creams. Vegan artisanal ice creams made with organic ingredients, which are sugarless and low-fat are rising in popularity as a healthy indulgence. Ice cream parlours often provide a wide variety of artisanal and gourmet ice cream flavours, allowing customers to explore and indulge in unique taste experiences.

Asia Pacific is a prominent region for ice creams due to the rising popularity of ice cream parlours
According to ice cream market analysis, investments in frozen foods, including frozen dairy products, in countries like China and the fast-gaining popularity of ice cream parlours in India support the growth of the market. Small regional brands and shops in the region are increasingly innovating ice creams inspired from the local flavours to expand their customer base. Wafer-thin ice cream called Thai Rolled Ice Cream, is popular in Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, and the Philippines, where it is frequently sold by street vendors.
In Europe regulations based on ice cream production ensure their high quality. For instance, Germany has stringent regulations dealing with various kinds of ice cream and their ingredients. For instance, milk ice cream must be 70% milk, ice cream must have 10% milk fat, and cream ice cream should consist of 50% milk and at least 270 grams of egg per litre. This further ensures the production of high-quality ice cream.
