[Research Report] The non-dairy ice cream market size is projected to grow from US$ 1.7 billion in 2022 to US$ 4.4 billion by 2030; the market is expected to record a CAGR of 12.8% from 2022 to 2030.
Market Insights and Analyst View:
Non-dairy ice cream is often called dairy-free or vegan as they are manufactured without traditional ingredients like milk or cream. The non-dairy ice cream uses almond, soy, and coconut milk as a base. The non-dairy ice cream market growth is majorly attributed to rising disposable income, rapid urbanization, and increasing living standards. Further, the rising popularity of plant-based products and surging health consciousness among the young population are expected to propel the market growth in the region. Key players in the region are adopting strategic initiatives such as mergers and acquisitions, collaborations, partnerships, and product launches to cater to the growing demand for the non-dairy ice cream market in the region.
Growth Drivers and Challenges:
Veganism has gained significant momentum in recent years. Consumers are highly inclined toward plant-based products as they perceive them to be healthier than conventional ones. Further, increasing awareness regarding animal protection and environmental sustainability is adding to the popularity of these food products. The global proliferation of veganism among people is highly influencing innovations in the ice cream market. According to data published by Veganuary, a nonprofit organization encouraging people to become vegan for the whole month of January, ~5.8 million people signed up for the “Veganuary Campaign” in 2021.
Registrations for the Veganuary Campaign have increased dramatically over the past few years. Thus, due to the flourishing trend of veganism, the manufacturers of frozen desserts such as ice cream are launching plant-based products. For instance, in May 2021, Whipped Urban Dessert Lab, a New York-based ice-cream parlor, launched ‘Taste of Freedom’ vegan ice cream. Similarly, in 2022, Unilever's brand Ben & Jerry's launched two plant-based ice creams— "Chocolate Milk and Cookies" and "Dirt Cake". The surging vegan population base is fostering the growth of the ice cream market. Vegan ice creams help improve digestion, strengthen the functioning of the immune system, improve blood pressure, etc. Thus, the growing inclination toward plant-based food products due to the growing popularity of veganism is expected to bring new trends to the ice cream market during the forecast period. However, the high price of non-dairy ice creams compared to dairy-based ice creams may hamper the market's growth.

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact:
The COVID-19 pandemic affected industries in various countries, influencing their economic conditions. Lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns in leading countries in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) negatively affected the growth of various industries, including the food & beverages industries. The shutdown of manufacturing units disturbed global supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and sales of various essential and non-essential products. In 2020, various companies announced possible delays in product deliveries and a slump in future sales of their products. In addition, the bans imposed by various governments in Europe, Asia, and North America on international travel forced the companies to put their collaboration and partnership plans on a temporary hold. All these factors hampered the food & beverages industry in 2020 and early 2021, thereby restraining the growth of various markets related to this industry, including the global non-dairy ice cream market.
In the pre-pandemic period, the non-dairy ice cream market was mainly driven by rising incidences of lactose intolerance and celiac diseases and changing consumer preference towards non-dairy and plant-based products. However, many industries faced unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020. The food & beverage industry declined due to the shutdown of manufacturing units and supply chain disruption. The pandemic disturbed the manufacturing processes with restrictions imposed by government authorities in various countries. During the initial phase of the pandemic, almost all countries proposed lockdowns in their respective economies, where people were restricted from going outside their houses.
