Functional ice cream has become a popular product among health-conscious consumers due to the presence of high-quality ingredients, and it fulfills consumers’ nutritional requirements more than regular ice cream. Traditional ice cream contains nutritional properties and various health benefits. So, the increasing interest of ice cream manufacturers in fortification and the addition of functional ingredients may influence the consumer’s decision to select a healthy alternative. Beyond basic nutrition, functional food provides advantages that can help lower or prevent the risk of certain diseases. Moreover, sugar-free, low-fat functional ice creams are gaining huge popularity due to their health benefits. The COVID-19 pandemic further influenced the demand for functional ice cream, and manufacturers are taking advantage of this opportunity. Low-sugar and high-protein ice cream have become especially popular with athletes and consumers looking for non-staple food and beverage products with better nutritional content. The popularity of functional ice cream is majorly driven by product innovations, especially in terms of taste profile and nutritional value. The rise in demand for functional ice cream is expected to create lucrative growth opportunities in the ice cream market across the region.
