Retail value (constant 2025 prices) sales of ice cream are expected to grow at a steady, strong pace over the forecast period, only slightly slower than the increase projected for 2025. Impulse and take-home ice cream are both expected to see strong retail volume and value CAGRs over the forecast period.
While the online channel’s retail value share is set to remain small at the end of the review period, the penetration and share of retail e-commerce in ice cream are anticipated to continue rising in the forecast period. Such development is being significantly propelled by advancements in logistics and last-mile delivery.
As more consumers seek out premium and luxurious ice cream experiences, players that prioritise flavour excellence, rich textures and artisanal craftsmanship are poised to gain a competitive edge. This growing appetite for indulgence is expected to drive innovation in premium product lines, encouraging the creation of niche flavours, limited-edition offerings and locally inspired ingredients.
