Ice cream in Japan is set to maintain very slow but stable retail volume growth in the forecast period, along with more dynamic retail current value growth. The consumption scenario for ice cream in Japan has evolved significantly from being a mere means to cool off during hot summers, to becoming a sought-after dessert or snack for its taste and comforting qualities.
Japanese food brands are actively engaging in collaborations. For long-standing brands, these partnerships are contributing to increased sales.
In Japan, plant-based ice cream is still at an emerging stage, yet major manufacturers are gradually introducing products to the market, albeit on a limited scale. In March 2024, Kracie Foods Ltd launched a new plant-based ice cream brand called From Green, featuring three flavours that utilise almond milk, oat milk, and soy milk, respectively.
