Global Ice Cream sector as a percentage of the overall food industry is expected to increase during 2011-2021, led by rising disposable incomes and a growing desire for indulgent treats. Although Asia Pacific is the third largest region in value terms and is forecast to emerge as the second fastest growing market globally during 2016-2021, the share of the Ice Cream sector in the overall APAC food industry is forecast to decline from 4.2% in 2011 to 4.1% by 2021, due to the strong demand for Dairy products.

Ice Cream with Health & Wellness attributes increased from 8.3% of global value sales in 2011 to 8.8% in 2016. This can be attributed to rising health awareness amongst consumers who are increasingly paying attention to the ingredients when purchasing food products. In response to this consumer behavior, manufacturers are reformulating Ice Cream with ingredients that have a healthy halo such as whey protein and vegetables. This should help to improve the perception of Ice Cream as a guilt-free indulgence.

Flexible Packaging was the most commonly used package material in the Ice Cream sector, accounting for 56.7% of volume share in 2016. It was followed by Rigid Plastics with a 24.4% share. The Rigid Plastic material is expected to grow the fastest, at a CAGR of 5.2% during 2011-2021, followed by Paper & Board at 4.7% during the same period.

The overall share of private label products in the global Ice Cream sector increased from 7.4% in 2011 to 8.7% in 2016, to reach US$4.8 Billion.
