The standout category in ice cream for the last few years has undoubtedly been plant-based ice cream, which saw a further acceleration of its growth in 2021, even as most categories struggled to maintain their pandemic-inflated 2020 sales. New products continue to appear, most notably from category leader Ben & Jerry’s, which further expanded its already extensive plant-based line.
Health and wellness trends are expected to see long-term recovery from their pandemic disruption. However, this does not mean that indulgence will not play a critical role for the category going forward by any means.
What long stymied the development of ice cream though e-commerce was the question of it melting. More so than most grocery items, ice cream simply could not be left on a doorstep for a significant period of time.
