Plant-based ice cream is growing in popularity in France, after a slow start compared to many other European countries. With sorbet a popular vegan alternative, the need for plant-based ice cream was often seen as only necessary for those who were allergic to or avoiding dairy.
Whilst hypermarkets and supermarkets still remain the key distribution channels for ice cream, other channels are seeing improvements. Frozen food home delivery services, such as Thiret, Toupargel, Argel and Maximo, continue to see a revival after their success during the lockdowns.
Functional ice cream is a niche sub-category, but is seeing growth as consumers seek something extra, as well as indulgence, from their ice cream purchases. As ice cream is not regarded as being particularly healthy, some manufacturers are releasing ice cream products which are high in protein, high in fibre, and enriched with vitamins; in addition to a trend for ice cream containing cannabidiol (CBD).
