"The ice cream and frozen desserts industry is an important sector of
the American dairy industry. Ice cream was a $20 billion industry in
the early 2000s; Worldwide consumption of frozen desserts had risen
steadily throughout the 1990s. Premium and super premium ice cream
desserts, which contained higher amounts of butterfat than regular ice
cream, gained popularity in the late 1990s, while frozen yogurt, a
$585 million market in the mid-1990s, declined in consumption. The
U.S. remained the world leader in ice cream production with more than
1.6 billion gallons in 2001. The total value of industry shipments
grew from $5.4 billion in 1999 to $5.7 billion in 2000."

"Chilling screams" can take on a happy meaning in the ice cream
category. There's no doubt that "we all scream for ice cream," as the
saying goes: this frozen treat and its related frozen desserts are
consumed by more than 90% of households in the United States,
according to Mintel research. And total U.S. production of
ice-cream-related frozen desserts amounted to about 1.4 billion
gallons in 2003, which translates to about 20 quarts per person,
according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)."

"U.S. production of ice cream and related frozen desserts amounted to
1.6 billion gallons or 23 quarts per person in 2001 and generated $20

scoop shops and other retail outlets accounted for almost two-thirds
of that total."

"The FDM packaged ice cream market grew 17% in current dollars, or 3%
in constant 2004 dollars, from 1999-2004, fueled by unprecedented
levels of product innovation and the emergence of a better-for-you
sector that transformed the look of the ice cream aisle. The $6.8
billion category comprises a wide variety of products including ice
cream, frozen yogurt, frozen soy-based desserts, sherbet, sorbet,
ices, and frozen novelties. The majority of product innovation that
took place over the period was focused on ice cream and frozen
novelties, leading those segments to steal attention and market share
from frozen yogurt, sherbet, sorbet and ices.
Ice cream, the largest segment which accounted for 59% of 2004 dollar
sales, grew 14% over the period from 1999-2004, driven by an onrush of
new products designed to meet the needs of both indulgence-seekers and
health-conscious consumers. In the premium ice cream sector,
manufacturers launched dozens of indulgent, new flavors--many
featuring big chunks of popular candies, cookies, brownies--in an
effort to defend themselves against the swift expansion of ice cream
chains like Cold Stone Creamery and Marble Slab Creamery, where
consumers choose their own concoction of candy, cookie, and other
mix-in ingredients. On the other end of the ice cream spectrum, in the
burgeoning better-for-you sector, manufacturers launched myriad
low-carb and light ice cream products in response to the growing
popularity of low-carb diets and heightened consumer concern about
obesity.
Pittsburgh Post - Gazette
August 9, 2005
" It's all about making an individual store or chain's ice cream and
frozen dessert stand out in an industry that, while the product isn't
all that different, generates annual sales in the $ 20.5 billion
range, said Salvatore Babones, a University of Pittsburgh sociology
professor."
http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/industries/Food-Kindred-Products/Ice-Cream-Frozen-Desserts.html
"Americans spent $20.7 billion on ice cream and other frozen desserts
in 2001. U.S. citizens were the leading consumers of frozen treats
worldwide, eating 20 liters per capita, versus an average of 2.3
liters per individual globally. Not only were Americans consuming the
most ice cream, but more American households were partaking in other
frozen delights. According to the International Dairy Foods
Association, U.S. household consumption of ice cream grew from 86
percent in 1996 to more than 90 percent by 2001."

"Packaged ice cream accounted for 52 percent of total U.S. ice cream
sales in 1999. Frozen novelties, consumption of which increased by 20
percent during the last half of the decade, accounted for 35 percent
of total industry sales in 1999. Novelty sales grew another 7 percent
between 2000 and 2001 to reach $2.1 billion. Cookie sandwiches were
the fastest growing novelty item. Packaged ice cream and frozen

"Super-premium ice cream accounted for 3.5 percent of total sales in
2001; premium accounted for 51.5 percent, and regular accounted for 45
percent. More than 80 percent of ice cream sold through supermarkets
and groceries in 2001 was full fat. About 11 percent was reduced fat,
lowfat, or nonfat ice cream. Sherbet accounted for 4.5 percent, while
frozen yogurt held only a four percent share of the total frozen

Minnesota. The top five U.S. cities in terms of ice cream supermarket
sales in the late 1990s were Portland, Oregon; Omaha, Nebraska;
Seattle, Washington; St. Louis, Missouri; and Buffalo/Rochester, New

neapolitan, butter pecan, and chocolate chip."
NOVELTIES:
http://www.allbusiness.com/periodicals/article/1167029-1.html
"Ice cream and frozen novelty sales hit new highs in 2001. Top brands
include Breyers, Dreyers, Klondike, and Drumstick.
Ice cream sales rose by 5.7% in 2001, according to ACNielsen
(Schaumburg, Ill.), while frozen novelty growth exceeded 10%. Those
impressive numbers were tempered by more sluggish volume gains, 1.6%
for ice cream and 5.4% for novelties, over the past year (see table
below).
Private label items continue to dominate the category according to
Chicago-based Information Resources Inc. (see page 11). Private label
is the largest "brand" in the ice cream, frozen yogurt/tofu,
sherbet/sorbet/ice, and frozen novelty sub-categories; total private
label ice cream and frozen novelty sales topped $1.45 billion for 52
weeks ended 12/2/01, says IRI, the largest chunk of which is bulk ice
cream, which made up $992 million of private label sales. That was a
4.4% gain versus the same period in 2000, however, units were off
4.4%, versus a total bulk ice cream category unit drop of only 1.9%"

"The frozen novelties segment grew faster than any other segment over
the period. Sales of novelties increased 30%, driven by an influx of
new, better-for-you offerings, as well as a high level of co-branding
that helped raise product awareness."
Dairy Field
July 2005
<<Consumers spend more than $2.2 billion a year on novelties,
according to data from Chicago-based Information Resources Inc, (IRI).
The Washington, D.C.-based International Dairy Foods Association
(IDFA) reports that 62 percent of American households purchase
novelties on a yearly basis.
That said, the latest market surveys indicate a slight melting of
sales. Compared to last year's figures, sales of frozen novelties for
the last 12 months dipped 2.9 percent, with six of the top 10 brands
posting declines.
Even with overall sales in the negative territory for the first time
in years, the category isn't in a total deep freeze, especially given
the increasing diversity of product lines. The burgeoning youth
market, for instance, is spurring all kinds of kid-friendly products.
On opposite ends of the diet spectrum, the growth of better-for-you
novelties and premium and superpremium novelties continues on parallel
tracks (or, perhaps more appropriately, MooseTracks).
Manufacturers, too, note the sheer growth of frozen novelties at the
retail level bodes well for the category even as it ramps up
competition. "Our novelty business is definitely trending up, and
growth is attributed to line extensions and increased distribution of
national brand novelties," reports Penny Baker, marketing manager for
Smith Dairy Products Co., Orrville, Ohio, which markets a line of
Ruggles[TM] novelties. "Look at the growth of the novelty section in
the retail grocery store. Significant shelf space is dedicated to
novelty products.">>

"Who is buying ice cream? The typical heavy ice cream consumption
household has an annual income of $50,000 to $69,000, five or more
people, with teenaged children. (see page 10) "Empty nest" households
also index high for ice cream. Frozen novelties are most common in
households making $70K or more a year, with five or more people, and
boasting children of any age. Young singles are the least likely group
to buy ice cream or frozen novelties-and that includes even the
healthier options like sherbet or frozen yogurt."
http://www.allbusiness.com/periodicals/article/1001959-1.html
"Ice cream is purchased by nine out of 10 U.S. households in hefty
qualities, in both unit and dollar terms, is a guaranteed repeat buy,
and doesn't require discounting to move (fewer than 5% of purchases
made with a coupon). It's also a category that is overwhelmingly owned
by grocery stores and supermarkets. Most ice cream sales fall into the
bulk segment; the other two parts of the category as tracked by
ACNielsen, ice milk/sherbet and frozen yogurt, are comparatively far
less popular-with penetration just in the teens-but each has pockets
of noticeable strength. Ice milk/sherbet in households with teens,
while frozen yogurt is popular among older, affluent households.
Frozen yogurt is also markedly more favored by residents of the
Eastern U.S.
As might be expected, the presence of children has a positive impact
on ice cream purchasing. But it's less than one might think: only in
households with only teen-aged children does consumption index
significantly higher (120+) than average. In households with younger
children, or with teens and preteens, ice cream purchase patterns are
closer to average. That suggests merchandising and promotion aimed at
teens or parents of teens, versus the younger set or their parents,
would be more effective."

"Manufacturers of ice cream and other frozen desserts range in size
from small operations with sales under $1 million a year to
subsidiaries or divisions of giant, diversified companies with annual
sales in the billions of dollars and for which frozen desserts are
only a portion of their total product lines. In the early 1990s, there
were approximately 675 establishments making ice cream, 305 making ice
milk, and 175 making water ice. Most of these plants made more than
one type of frozen dessert product."

"Another leader in the ice cream and frozen dessert industry was Good
Humor-Breyers Ice Cream Company, a subsidiary of Unilever United
States, Inc. Unilever's parent company, Unilever PLC, was the global
leader in the ice cream industry and spent the late 1990s acquiring
numerous ice cream companies, including firms in Mexico, China, and
the Philippines. In the United States, Good Humor-Breyers made and
sold a number of brands, including the industry-leading Breyers,
Klondike, which made ice cream sandwiches and bars; Minute Maid, which
offered sorbets and bars; and Popsicle. In August 1999 Unilever
published Licks, Sticks and Bricks: A World History of Ice Cream,
which offered a detailed look at the development of ice cream. Breyers
and Dreyer's together accounted for about 31 percent of the U.S. ice

"There was no blockbuster event in the frozen dessert industry in

What stood out for us in 2006, and is our Ice Cream Reporter "Frozen
Dessert Story-of-the-Year," was the continuity of the industry, that
combination of tradition and renewal as characterized by the
celebration of several anniversaries and the launch of several new
frozen dessert companies, that sustains the appeal of frozen desserts

past year were Friendly's, which celebrated its 70th anniversary (ICR
7/05), Baskin-Robbins, which turned 60 (ICR 9/05), and Elan frozen

flip side, 2005 saw the birth of such new companies and brands as
OTTIS ice cream, introduced by Quantum Food Design, Tara's Organic Ice
Cream, and SheerBliss Ice Cream (ICR 10/05). All three offer a unique

"There are two hot trends in the cold world, of ice cream and they
fall at both ends of the spectrum: catering to the cream of the crop"
consumer palate that wants nothing but the most indulgent,
super-premium, full-fat, frozen treat, and catering to the "let's crop
the cream" consumer palate, that is looking for a better-for-you

"Shaping up as a major story for 2006 is whether the Food & Drug
Administration (FDA) will rewrite the federal Standards of Identity
for ice cream and other frozen desserts along the lines proposed by
the International Ice Cream Association (IICA) and its parent
organization, the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA). Should
the FDA opt for the revisions, it will create some of the most
significant changes for manufacturers, suppliers, and consumers that

<<We can all look forward to a cold, "icy" spring. After sliding
through a relatively flat 2005 (while the final year-end numbers
weren't in at press-time, it looks like the category grew around 2%),
the ice cream makers are back this year with mounds of new products
that scream the latest category trends, running the gamut from
Better-for-You formulas to high-indulgence flavors--two popular themes
that ideally are not mutually exclusive.
Throughout the frozen aisles, an "updated" interest in Better-for-You
varieties is apparent, and ice cream is no exception. "Consumers are
still very interested in light, no-sugar-added and reduced-fat foods,
but they are tired of typical 'diet' foods," maintains Jason R.
Glover, marketing manager for Wells' Dairy's Blue Bunny brand, based
in Le Mars, Iowa. "These consumers still want products that are
premium and indulgent in quality and taste, just tailored for their
diet needs.">>
