Introducing the Market Intelligence Report: Ice Cream, a comprehensive assessment identifying trends and opportunities.

Tap into the frozen dessert trends that will drive menu innovation and concepts...

Vanilla might be among the most popular flavors of ice cream, but it certainly does not define the segment. Ice cream itself is the top dessert on menus and in many consumers' hearts-be it in a bowl, cone or cup; topped, blended or left alone. Frozen yogurt, custard and sherbet are among other top sellers at restaurants, while novelties and ice pops are among the frozen favorites at retail outlets. And a new wave of emerging concepts is basing its successful growth on a focused menu of low-fat tart yogurt, ethnic-inspired gelato or decadent frozen custard.

Market Intelligence Report: Ice Cream mines Technomic's exclusive consumer, menu and industry data to uncover insights and opportunities in frozen desserts and snacks. The report includes data from Technomic's MenuMonitor online trend-tracking resource, which analyzes the menus of 1,200 of the top chains, emerging concepts and leading independent restaurants. It also features consumer data culled from Technomic's Consumer Trend Reports. Retail data and trends examine at-home consumption and point to potential away-from-home opportunities. Rounding out the data are operator examples, including the new products and hot concepts driving ice cream innovation.
