In recent years, numerous innovative products have been launched in the frozen bakery and desserts category. Consumers are paying more attention to their health and wellness. This has resulted in the emergence of innovative flavors and low-fat, gluten-free products. Increasing demand for low-sugar and low-calorie desserts is expected to drive the market's growth. Innovation in products, flavors, and packaging has proven to be a crucial growth factor. Ice cream and frozen yogurts are gaining popularity among consumers due to product convenience and time-saving factors. For instance, in April 2024, CitraPac added a new line of frozen yogurt dessert products under its Nature’s Premium label. The company’s Dessert Pearls feature a yogurt pearl base mixed with various texture and flavor ingredients, such as shortbread cookie crumbles in its cookies and cream flavor or strawberries in its strawberry cheesecake flavor.

Furthermore, the demand for gluten-free, clean-label products is increasing due to their health benefits and different allergies. Gluten-free frozen desserts are widely accepted in the United States, Europe, and other developing countries. The market is being driven by rising disposable incomes, the introduction of new flavors, increasing impulse purchasing, and a huge demand for frozen desserts among consumers globally. Ice creams emerged as the leading product category. The factors affecting the market's growth are flavors, fat content, sweetness, and texture.
