Organic Ice Cream Market Trends

Organic Ice Cream Market Trends

There is a growing emphasis on unique and exotic flavor profiles across the food & beverage sector. Consumers are constantly drawn to innovative taste combinations, seeking experiences that go beyond traditional offerings. Manufacturers are responding by launching flavors that incorporate premium and natural ingredients, catering to the demand for distinctive taste experiences.
 

Environmentally conscious consumers are looking for products with eco-friendly packaging, and manufacturers are responding by adopting sustainable production processes. From sourcing organic ingredients to employing environmental-friendly packaging solutions, the industry is aligning with consumer values, driving a shift towards more responsible practices.  For instance, Unilever ice cream brand, GROM partnered with Qwarzo to launch innovative paper-based spoons with paper cups across scoop shops in France, UK, and Portugal. The spoons havinh Qwarzo’s unique coating technology are fully recyclable and compostable.
 

Moreover, the surge in popularity of dairy-free and plant-based options stands out as a significant trend within the organic ice-cream market. As greater number of consumers embrace vegetarian, vegan, or flexitarian diets, the product crafted from alternative ingredients such as coconut, almond, or oat milk is on the rise. This shift reflects an inclination in prompting manufacturers to diversify their product offerings. In March 2023, Planet Based Foods Global Inc. announced their foray into the non-dairy frozen dessert category by introducing a new line of hemp-based, organic vegan ice cream at Natural Products EXPO West.
