According to estimates provided by NIDDK, around 68% of the world’s population has malabsorption, which has put pressure on the F&B industry to reformulate dishes, which can be consumed by all. As frozen desserts are made of vegetable oils blended with flavoring agents, they are getting popular among lactose intolerant population. Also, the increasing trend of people shifting towards vegan diets, has created several opportunities for the dessert producers to come up with desserts especially for the vegan population.

Along with these, widening spectrum of flavors and variety in texture will further support the market growth. Climate change is another factor likely to create high demand for frozen desserts such as ice cream and frozen yogurt on a global scale. It is estimated that the demand for ice creams alone can easily go up to 50% on a hot day and drop 20% if the weather is bad. Customers believe that they eat ice creams just to cool down their body temperature in a hot climate, thereby fueling the growth of the market. 

Frozen desserts are made using vegetable oils, usually of coconut and mustard. This can lead to indigestion issues and thus can hamper the market growth. In addition, as frozen items need more sugar content, increasing taxation on sugar can be a hindrance to the market. Moreover, increasing health concerns among people are hampering the growth of this market. The majority of the consumers prefer low-calorie options, vegan alternatives, and dairy-free products as a healthier option, hence affecting the market growth. As per the WHO, more than 400 million people in the world are living with diabetes, which will increase to more than 600 million people in the next 2 decades. An increasing number of diabetic patients has put extreme pressure on the dessert industry to develop sugar-free products suitable for the concerned class of consumers.
