The MEA ice cream market is expected to grow from US$ 3,343.49 million in 2022 to US$ 4,278.32 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2022 to 2028.
Functional ice cream has become a popular product among health-conscious consumers as it contains high-quality ingredients and 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 creams, and manufacturers are taking advantage of this opportunity. Low-sugar and high-protein ice cream have become especially popular among athletes and consumers looking for non-staple food and beverage products with better nutritional content. The high demand for functional ice creams 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 during the forecast period.
Vendors in the ice cream market can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets by offering products with new features and technologies. This factor is likely to drive the MEA ice cream market at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
