Thailand Ice Cream Market Trends:

Soft Serve and Quick-Service Upsurge

There is a shift in Thailand's ice cream industry toward soft serve and quick-service products, with both local and foreign players. Large retail chains like CP Group, Central Group, IKEA, and Carabao Group have expanded into the soft serve area aggressively, posing competition to popular brands like Dairy Queen and new Chinese entrants like Mixue. These brands are targeting prime locations and offering affordable pricing to attract a broad customer base. The competition has intensified, with each brand striving to differentiate itself through unique flavors and promotional strategies. This trend reflects a broader consumer preference for convenient, accessible, and budget-friendly ice cream options, especially among younger demographics seeking quick indulgence during their daily routines, which further contributes to the Thailand ice cream market growth.

Embracing Health-Conscious and Plant-Based Alternatives

As a reaction to increased health consciousness and food trends, Thai customers increasingly look for healthier alternatives in ice cream. Demand for low-calorie, low-fat, and low-sugar products, as well as products with natural or plant-based ingredients, is on the rise. The trend is reflected in the demand for ice creams based on coconut milk, almond milk, or soy for lactose-intolerant consumers and vegans. Moreover, sweeteners such as stevia and erythritol are utilized to lower the sugar content without affecting taste. Brands are reacting with innovative new products that cater to these wellness-oriented trends, providing consumers with indulgent yet guilt-free choices. This shift toward healthier ice cream is part of a larger regional trend in Southeast Asia where, increasing concerns regarding diabetes and lactose intolerance shape food decisions.

Integration of Traditional Thai Flavors and Ingredients

In Thailand, the ice cream market is combining traditional Thai flavors with contemporary ice cream products, giving rise to innovative and culturally relevant products. The utilization of local ingredients like coconut, durian, pandan, and Thai tea for ice cream formulations is providing consumers with an experience that speaks to the country's strong gastronomic heritage. Examples include Thai Glico's SUNAO brand, which brought macadamia and almond ice creams to 7-Eleven stores in Greater Bangkok. These innovative flavors combine traditional tastes with modern dessert forms and meet the increasing demand for novelty flavors that fuse local tastes with modern dessert forms. Combining traditional flavors not only meets the appetite of native consumers but also draws international tourists looking for authentic Thai food experiences. This trend indicates the openness of Thailand's ice cream market, where innovation and tradition blend to address different consumer tastes.
