Report Outlook

The global Frozen Dessert market was valued at USD 130.66 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period.

The growing market is propelled by a rising global demand for frozen dessert products, fueled by shifts in consumer preferences and health consciousness. Additionally, the market is driven by an increase in disposable income and the introduction of diverse dessert products to accommodate a wide range of consumer preferences.

Frozen desserts primarily consist of milk compounds, vegetable fats, flavors, and dry fruits.
