Strong penetration of organized retail channels propelling the market growth.
- The off-trade segment dominates the distribution channels of the global ice cream market. In the off-trade segment, consumers prefer buying ice cream majorly from supermarkets and hypermarkets, as people get discount coupons for bulk shopping in supermarkets. As a result, the off-trade channel is considered the primary distribution channel for the sales of ice cream, with more than 74% of overall sales as of 2023 globally.
- Convenience stores are the second-largest channel for the sales of ice cream after supermarkets and hypermarkets. In 2022, the sales value of ice cream through convenience stores increased by 3.4% compared to 2021. Many convenience stores stay open longer than traditional retail stores, resulting in more time in the day for the companies' products to be sold.
- Ice creams are commonly consumed as after-meal snacks in restaurants and foodservice channels, which is further boosting the global ice cream market growth. As of 2022, 47% of consumers consumed meals and ice cream at restaurants, and 31% of consumers ordered their food from foodservice channels globally.
- Africa had the highest sales of ice cream through on-trade channels globally, accounting for a major share of 50% in 2023. The sales are driven by the strong preference for eating out in the region. South Africa and Egypt are the leading countries in terms of sales of ice cream through on-trade channels in Africa. In 2022, the two countries covered 79% of sales in terms of volume in the total ice cream sales through on-trade channels in the region. In 2022, there were 3.5 million reservations in South Africa, seating 17.8 million diners at restaurants across the country. In 2020, despite the pandemic, around 68% of African people showed a willingness to eat out.

The strong penetration of ice cream parlors, the availability of diverse flavors, and the consumer preference for indulgent and healthier dessert options are driving the consumption of ice cream.
- Ice cream is the most widely consumed dairy dessert globally, with strong penetration across different countries.

Europe is a significant consumer of ice cream globally. In 2022, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain collectively covered 29.28% of the overall ice cream consumption.
- Developed markets like the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia are witnessing rising health concerns. Thus, consumers across the region prefer ice cream products that are GMO-free, preservative-free, dairy-free, low in calories, and organic and fat-free.
- The Asian ice cream market is growing, with brands tapping into the ice cream trend from an indulgence and a health perspective. For example, per capita consumption of ice cream in India is expected to increase by 5.90% from 2023-2024.

Off-Trade, On-Trade are covered as segments by Distribution Channel. Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East, North America, South America are covered as segments by Region.
- The off-trade segment dominates the distribution channels of the global ice cream market. In the off-trade segment, consumers prefer buying ice cream majorly from supermarkets and hypermarkets, as people get discount coupons for bulk shopping in supermarkets. As a result, the off-trade channel is considered the primary distribution channel for the sales of ice cream, with more than 74% of overall sales as of 2023 globally.

In 2022, the sales value of ice cream through convenience stores increased by 3.4% compared to 2021. Many convenience stores stay open longer than traditional retail stores, resulting in more time in the day for the companies' products to be sold.

As of 2022, 47% of consumers consumed meals and ice cream at restaurants, and 31% of consumers ordered their food from foodservice channels globally.
- Africa had the highest sales of ice cream through on-trade channels globally, accounting for a major share of 50% in 2023.
