Restraining Factor

Economic Fallout of the COVID-19 Pandemic to Impede Market Growth

Artisanal ice creams are expensive and are thus unaffordable to a large chunk of consumers. This disadvantage of these delicacies has been exacerbated by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to a severe, unprecedented downturn in the global economy. In June 2020, for example, the World Bank predicted that if the pandemic continues unabated, the global economy could shrink by 8% in 2020. The fallout emanating from this pandemic has had cascading effects on national economies and personal incomes as well. India, for instance, reported a shocking -23.9% contraction of its economy in the second quarter of 2020, owing to the nationwide lockdown and strict trade and travel bans, both domestic and international. Back in June 2020, the State Bank of India, India’s top lender, forecasted in a report that the coronavirus crisis could decline per capita income in the country by 5.4%. In a study conducted by the UK-based non-profit organization, CABI, it was found that Kenya and Uganda were undergoing severe food insecurity due to COVID-19. In such dire circumstances, the demand for niche, gourmet foods, such as artisanal ice creams, is likely to remain diminished, thus affecting market growth.

Regional Insights

Widespread Presence of Specialty Stores to Propel the Market in North America

Among regions, North America is expected to dominate the artisanal ice creams market share due to the robust presence and operations of specialty stores across the US and Canada. Underpinning the thriving growth of such stores is the increasing demand from consumers for natural ice cream flavors infused with organic, low-calorie ingredients. To meet the soaring demand for gourmet desserts and sweets, local ice cream brands are also partnering with foodservice companies and offering doorstep delivery of products. Most importantly, the high disposable incomes in North America are allowing consumers to purchase artisanal ice creams, which are known to be expensive.

Competitive Landscape

Regional Expansion by Leading Players to Liven up Competition

In a bid to expand the market footprint, key players are augmenting their regional presence by establishing operations in different states and cities, thus aiding the artisanal ice creams market growth. This strategy is enabling these companies to cater to a wider audience, strengthen distribution networks, and diversify revenue streams.
