Ice Cream Market in India Trends:
The Indian ice cream industry shifts away from typical vanilla and chocolate flavors. Gourmet or artisanal ice creams gain in popularity. Natural ingredients are what consumers want. Consumers want special tasty ice creams made from good ingredients. Consumers also want new flavor matches that are different. Hypermarket growth aids this along with specialist ice cream parlours, good for merchandising and displaying these premium products, also the fast growth in the number of online ice cream home delivery services, which transformed the much more convenient supply of ice cream to urban consumers using home delivery boxes that protect the product integrity. A key trend is rising requests for healthy products. To meet consumer demand, lower sugar content, lactose free products, probiotic frozen yogurts, sorbets, or frozen yogurt made from fruit purees are becoming available.
In recent years in India, the use of regional flavors in frozen yogurt has increased. These flavors include saffron, mango, sitaphal, and regional flavors like gulab jamun with kulfi. Partly due to the regionalization of products, and the tendency of consumers to celebrate local flavors, other products are becoming more popular in the market. In addition to customary ice cream, ice cream products include ice cream rolls, nitrogen-frozen ice cream, and ice cream products with customized toppings. As younger generations shift their preferences to experiences over products, the market is growing for ice cream experiences, which include more than just customary ice cream.

Ice Cream Market in India Scope and Growth:
Several macroeconomic and socicultural factors have contributed to the high growth of the Indian ice cream market. A key driver of this has been the increase in disposable incomes in India, driven by an increasing middle and upper middle class in metropolitan and tier-II cities throughout the country. This gives consumers a greater capability to trade up from basic, impulse purchases to premium, every day treats, and gives the category a longer ice cream season than Summer. With a young and changing demographic, there is a large population for whom snack ice cream is part of an every day lifestyle, making it a sustainable, growing category. At the national level, an additional driver is urbanization, resulting in busier lifestyles, more exposure to international food trends, and better access to organized retail and cold chain logistics.
The latter has been identified as a driver, leading to better access to larger market segments, reduced product loss and spoilage, and giving companies the ability to enter markets that were previously unavailable. The growth in demand is also due to the aggressive marketing and brand promotion strategy used by the international and domestic players. Creative ads, employing celebrity endorsements, and social media marketing have helped to grow brand recall by associating ice cream with celebrations, leisure and social gatherings. Another competitive driver is the need to attract consumers' attention and continue enticing them to consume; the result has been an increasing number of new flavors and formats. The industry is growing in its size, maturity and competitiveness.
