Singapore Ice Cream Market Trend:
Balancing Indulgence with Healthier Snacking via Portion Control - The end users are becoming more health-conscious. It is creating a rising demand for healthier options like low-sugar or low-calorie variants, but the category remains underdeveloped in Singapore. Instead, portion control is being adopted by the end users of the country. It emerged as a popular strategy by balancing emergence with mindful eating.
Mini ice cream cones format allows the end users to enjoy their favorite ice cream without overconsuming it. Moreover, this trend also aligns with the health and wellness trend in the snacking sector. It promotes brands to increase the offerings, such as mini sticks, cups, etc., ensuring the indulgence is being preserved with better calorie management. For instance, Magnum has introduced popular mini versions of some of its popular flavors like Double Starchaser and Euphoria Pink Lemonade, each just 55 ml, which is comparatively less compared to regular 110 ml sticks. The shift towards the ‘’snackification’’ is expected to contribute to and drive the sales of multi-pack, portion-controlled ice cream during the forecast period.
