France Ice Cream Market Growth

France became the second largest ice cream producer in Europe (after Germany at 620 million litres) in 2022, at 591 million litres. This is significantly higher than ice cream production in Italy (571 MT) and Belgium (198 MT).

In 2022, while Germany and Italy accounted for merely 24% of overall ice cream exports, France exported 53 million kg of ice cream to countries like the United States and China, constituting 21% of the overall export share. This has made it the leading ice cream exporter across the region.

The expansion of online retail platforms in France is expected to make online channels the leading distribution channel for ice creams. The prevalence of high levels of digital literacy, coupled with rising internet and smartphone penetration rates, is expected to enhance their appeal among the consumer base.

The consumption of ice creams in restaurants and dessert parlours is expected to remain significant over the forecast period. This is because they provide unique dining experiences to consumers and provide a variety of dessert options to choose from.

The high prevalence of lactose intolerance (over 30%) among European consumers is accelerating the demand for lactose-free ice creams in France. Rising health consciousness is driving the sales of high protein, and low-sugar, low-calorie ice creams.
