Stay on top of the trends
Our market intelligence experts keep a close eye on evolving consumer demands and product trends, and we gladly share our insights with you.
Plant-based frozen desserts are a great example of trends-based innovation. Their popularity is booming as savvy consumers seek new alternatives to dairy ice cream. Soy was once the staple, but producers have today embraced numerous alternatives – from almonds to rice, coconut to oat, and cashew to pea. All offer high potential for product uniqueness and differentiation.
Across the ice cream category, “permissible treats” are a growing phenomenon. Some manufacturers are adding big chunks of healthy ingredients like fruit and nuts into their products. We can provide them with the technology to dose ingredients accurately, ensuring every mouthful of ice cream contains a tasty surprise.
Others are developing low fat ice cream products. This is where our low temperature freezers really come into their own. They make it possible to reduce the size of the ice crystals and air bubbles in your product, ensuring it ends up with a nice creamy texture regardless of the amount of fat in the ice cream mix ingredients.
