Global Ice Cream Market Analysis
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.
Global Ice Cream Market Trends
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.

When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.
They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.
So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.
Rebecca Green, Market Insight Manager, Wincanton
One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.
We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.
We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.
Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch
We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.
Nick Carroll from their Retail Team was also an excellent panelist, sharing useful and actionable consumer insights. We definitely look forward to working with Mintel again on future projects.
Zac Steele, E-Commerce Trading Development Manager, Waitrose & Partners
There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.
However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.
Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus
We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, VML
