According to TechSci Research report, “India Frozen Dessert Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, the India Frozen Dessert Market was valued at USD 4.86 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 9.25 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 11.32% during the forecast period. The India Frozen Dessert Market has experienced robust growth in recent years, evolving rapidly due to shifting consumer preferences, increased disposable incomes, and expanding access to modern retail and digital distribution platforms. Traditionally dominated by dairy-based ice creams, the market now features a broad array of frozen desserts such as frozen yogurt, gelato, kulfi, and vegan options that appeal to a diverse and health-conscious consumer base. Rising urbanization, increasing nuclear families, and a growing young population with changing eating habits have created a ripe environment for innovation and experimentation within the frozen dessert space. With global brands entering the market and domestic players expanding their reach, India’s frozen dessert sector is on a strong upward trajectory.

Consumers are now more willing to spend on indulgent and premium food experiences, including artisanal and international frozen desserts. Simultaneously, the increasing penetration of refrigeration infrastructure, especially in Tier II and Tier III cities, has made it easier for retailers to store and distribute frozen products. This has enabled broader market access and reduced product spoilage, encouraging more companies to invest in this segment. Furthermore, the advent of digital platforms and quick-commerce services has revolutionized how consumers purchase frozen treats, making them accessible on-demand, at any time of day.

The future of the India Frozen Dessert Market appears promising, with double-digit growth expected in the coming years. Companies are increasingly leveraging digital marketing, influencer collaborations, and experiential retail formats like self-serve frozen yogurt outlets to engage with Gen Z and millennial consumers. North India continues to dominate in terms of consumption, but brands are aggressively expanding into southern and eastern markets. Investments in cold chain logistics, sustainable packaging, and product innovation will play a critical role in scaling up operations and maintaining quality. As brands focus on differentiation, affordability, and customer-centric offerings, the Indian frozen dessert market is likely to become one of the most dynamic segments in the country’s food and beverage industry.
