As manufacturers compete to attract consumers and keep them interested, product life cycles for food and drinks in Japan are relatively short, with new flavours frequently appearing. Ice cream often welcomes new flavours, often in the form of seasonal offerings.
Due to uncertainty and limited financial resources due to COVID-19, ice cream players are likely to limit their investment in new product innovation and the launch of new brands, which requires large investment in promotion. Strengthening existing brands through collaboration is likely to be the focus of major players to drive sales of ice cream in the forecast period.
Sustainability has slowly become a hot topic for both companies and the government in Japan in the past few years. The Japanese government recently released a new plastic resource recycling promotion law, which requires convenience stores, retailers and restaurants to reduce the use of 12 kinds of disposable plastic products, including single-use spoons, by switching to alternative materials, which came into effect starting from April 2022.
