Indian Ice Cream Market to Grow at a CAGR of 17% During 2012-2017

Dec. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Increasing affluence, a large young population, product innovation, growing institutional sales, etc. are expected to be the catalysts in driving the Indian Ice Cream market in the coming years. Research firm IMARC Group expects this market to grow at a CAGR of 17% during 2012 - 2017, according to its latest report titled “Indian Dairy Market Report & Forecast: 2012-2017”. The report which has done a comprehensive analysis of the Indian dairy market expects the share of the organized sector to increase significantly in the coming years. According to an analyst at IMARC Group, “Although, the unorganized sector currently accounts for a larger share of the Indian ice cream market; it is shrinking considerably in the urban areas. In the rural areas, however, kulfis/ice creams made by small/cottage industry are popular. In small towns and villages, there are thousands of small players who produce ice creams/kulfis and cater to the local demand. The market for the organized sector is restricted to the large cities in the country. In the coming years, however, the penetration of organized players such as Amul and Kwality Walls are expected to increase in the rural and semi urban areas as well”.

According to the report, a notable shift in the consumption pattern of ice creams in India has been from impulse purchase by youngsters as fun food to its regular use as a dessert. Driven by this rising trend, the report found that the share of take-home sector over the last five years has increased significantly and currently accounts for more than 60% of the total ice cream market in India.
