“The surge in the popularity of plant-based ice cream products can be attributed to burgeoning consumer interest for dairy-free desserts and the significant improvement in vegan ice cream offerings in terms of accessibility, texture, and flavor. There is a broader shift towards alternative milk, and consumers tend to pick plant-based ice cream over those made from dairy,” said Ravi Gopalan, Head of Data at abillion.
