Bulk dairy ice cream is expected to remain the largest ice cream category in South Africa in the forecast period, thanks to its value and variety. However, the category is nearing maturity, with a strong presence of both brands and private label.
The outlook for ice cream is optimistic over the forecast period, with growth expected mainly thanks to the continued growth of bulk dairy ice cream, which is the biggest category. It is expected that as incomes become constrained, entertainment will move more into the home, which will boost the performance of bulk dairy ice cream.
