The global ice cream market is showing diverse growth patterns across various regions in 2025, with noteworthy expansion in countries like Brazil, Germany, and Japan. In Brazil, the market’s growth is propelled by the combination of rising temperatures and inflation, with family packs becoming increasingly popular due to their affordability and shared enjoyment. Germany’s market is witnessing consistent sales volumes and a solid preference for multipacks that drive value. Japan is experiencing a boost in individually wrapped ice creams, particularly those that are premium and come from established traditional brands. The driving forces behind the market growth in these regions include the popularity of family packs and individually wrapped products.
Globally, several key trends are fuelling the growth of the ice cream market. There is a marked uptick in consumer demand for ethically produced items and environmentally sustainable products, with many new launches emphasising these aspects. Health-conscious consumers are on the lookout for ice cream options with reduced levels of sugar, fat, and calories, mirroring a larger trend towards healthier consumption. The premiumisation of the market is evident as consumers are willing to pay higher prices for top-notch ingredients and unique flavours, often treating ice cream as a form of self-reward. The influence of social media is also significant, as it helps in promoting novel flavours and products, thus supporting ongoing market expansion.
