Key Trends in the Market

Ice cream refers to frozen desserts containing milk, sugar, cream, and flavourings, among others. It is prepared by combining liquid ingredients such as cream, syrups, and milk under constant agitation and heat. The liquid ingredients are then combined with dry ingredients including stabilisers, powdered milk, and sugar to form a mixture.

  • Increased spendings upon indulgent treats such as ice creams owing to rising disposable incomes is bolstering the Europe ice cream market growth. Ice creams are rich in fats and proteins, both helpful in elevating mood. The presence of amino acids such as tryptophan in ice creams promotes the production of serotonin that provides a feeling of wellbeing, calm, and satisfaction.
  • The rising availability of vegan, fat free, and sugar free ice creams in various regions across Europe is providing lucrative growth opportunities to the market. The consumption of vegan ice cream is increasing in the region owing to growing prevalence of lactose intolerance. Whereas the consumption of fat and sugar free ice creams is increasing owing to rising health concerns.
  • Technological enhancements in the dairy industry coupled with availability of ice creams in different forms including brick, tub, stick, cup, and cone, among others is supporting the market expansion. Furthermore, rising investments by the key players of the market towards the development of novel flavours is increasing the product demand in Europe.
