The predicted valuation of the worldwide market for plant-based ice cream in 2022 was approximately USD 1.6 billion. Manufacturers’ focus on developing and marketing new “clean label” and “label free” plant-based ice cream products will drive the growth of the global market for plant-based ice cream in the next years. Considering a 10% CAGR from 2023 to 2033, it is anticipated to have produced a total of USD 4.3 billion by 2033.
The growing demand for plant-based ice cream is fueled by the rapid expansion of commercialization and the increasing availability of plant-based milk. Market perception is further enhanced by innovations in flavor and advancements in production technologies.
