Home>Industry Reports>United States Ice Cream Market Assessment, Opportunities, and Forecast, 2016-2030F
United States Ice Cream Market is projected to witness a CAGR of 5.21% for the forecast period between 2023 and 2030, reaching USD 30.59 billion by 2030 from USD 20.38 billion in 2022. The rising demand for upscale or luxury ice creams has been one of the main drivers fuelling market expansion in the country. Several of those premium ice creams have become more popular among health-conscious consumers as a result of the availability of reduced-calorie/no sugar claims when compared to traditional ice creams. For instance, a new range of dairy-free, sugar-free ice cream in the flavours of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate was introduced by NadaMoo! in the year 2021.
To gain a competitive advantage and appeal to a wider audience, ice cream manufacturers create products with premium and novel ingredients. As a result, their customer base expands. Packaging advancements also help boost the demand for take-home products, since these new packs are simpler to ship and store than older ones.
Frequent Occasions and Gatherings at Home Leads to High Demand for Take Home Ice Cream
American’s love for ice creams is ever lasting and United States is among the top consumers of ice creams globally. According to International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), an average U.S. resident consumer around 20 pounds (4 gallons) of ice cream annually, with vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and bananas being the most popular flavours.
Large portion of the country’s population are involved in frequent get togethers at home and are proven to be great hosts by offering their guests the flawless hospitality experience. Such regular trends of hosting parties on various occasions results in a higher demand for take home ice creams. Nearly 82% of the Americans prefer to purchase ice cream from the grocery stores and consume it at home. Half gallon containers are the most common package size being purchased in the country.
Cannabidiol (CBD) Infused Ice Cream Could be a Next Opportunity
To gain a competitive advantage and appeal to American consumers, ice cream makers use premium and innovative ingredients to create products which will also increase their customer base. In addition, favourable regulations also consider innovations in the market under study. In May 2019, the FDA held public hearings on legalizing cannabidiol (CBD) in the country. Therefore, major players have started using this opportunity to launch new products to differentiate their products. Several ice cream companies are planning to launch CBD infused ice creams the moment FDA approves the use of CBD in food and beverage, which is currently prohibited.
For example, Unilever brand, Ben & Jerry is all set to launch its CBD-infused ice cream but given no hint for when it will be available in grocery stores, for the FDA’s public hearings are still under process. It also plans to source the future CBD locally from Vermont while adhering to its “value-based sourcing” practices. Research shows that savoury flavours appeal to U.S. consumers. Manufacturers are therefore investing in collaborations and research to produce great-tasting, innovative ice creams for the U.S. market.
An Upward Shift Towards Sustainable Packaging
As per the report by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, approximately 80 million metric ton of packaging waste is produced by the United States solely each year. The major sources of the packaging waste are food and beverage products. Because of the increasing awareness towards minimising the packaging waste and using recyclable products, there is a surge in demand for products with eco-friendly or sustainable packaging. Food and beverage industry, being the major producer of packaging waste, is collaborating with various suppliers to cater to their products in sustainable packaging to gain consumer trust and interest. Two-third of the ice cream makers in the United States are planning for more sustainable packaging solutions.
Impact of COVID-19 on the United States Ice Cream Market
Initially, the ice cream industry of the United States declined due to the outbreak of COVID-19 resulting in complete lockdown. But soon when the parts of the country started to unlock gradually, the trend in the industry also saw a surge in demand for ice creams and ice cream products. During this phase, the industry recovered at least 50% of its rate. Customers, rather than buying single packs, shifted the demand to multipacks and voluminous packs like bricks and tubs so that they would come the least in contact with others, and also enjoy the much-needed family time.
Impact of Russia-Ukraine War on the United States Ice Cream Market
The essential raw materials used by the ice cream manufacturers are those subject to price fluctuations caused by external conditions such as weather, climate change, commodity shortages, etc. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has also impacted the supply of raw materials to a great extent, as international sanctions were imposed on Russia. A substantial rise in consumer dairy prices is expected to take place as a result of the war.
