Sales of certified organic ice cream represent relatively low share of the total ice cream sales across the globe. However, demand for organic ice cream is growing at a strong pace as compared to their conventional counterparts. The trend of improving nutrition credentials in dairy products by adopting natural and organic ingredients has been uplifting the organic ice cream market size. For ice cream to be deemed ‘organic’, it needs to meet a number of stipulations. Primary ingredients such as organic milk and cream must come from cows that are not given any antibiotics or growth hormones such as rBST. In addition, these cows are fed organic food and their grazing areas are maintained without any pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
In recent years, consumers, when considering ‘health and wellness’, are taking holistic perspective by weighing more products attributes and qualitative product claims. As consumers purchase decisions and shopping behavior continue to undergo significant changes, manufacturers are finding ways to align with newer trends. The result has led to increasing sales of organic ice cream. The organic ice cream is far from becoming a mass product. However, growing concerns of animal welfare issues in the dairy industry and consumers’ inquisitiveness about foods and their sourcing are expected to push the demand in years ahead.
