The United States Ice Cream Market size is estimated at USD 19.03 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 21.76 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 2.72% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Revitalized stores, enhanced supply chains propel supermarkets and hypermarkets to witness surge in ice cream sales
- In 2020, the on-trade segment was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic due to lockdowns imposed worldwide. Despite these challenges, US consumers spent an average of 8.6% of their disposable personal income on food in 2020. This amount was split between meals consumed at home (5.0%) and away from home (3.6%). However, restaurants, bars, and casinos had to shut down operations in the country. Therefore, the on-trade sales value of ice cream decreased by 14% in 2020 compared to 2019, with around 32,109 restaurants shutting operations during the pandemic.
- The online retail channel is expected to be the fastest-growing distribution sub-segment in the off-trade segment. It is projected to register a growth value of 13% during 2023-2028 due to the increasing number of smartphone users, which rose by 11 million between 2020 and 2021. Around 45% of the US population browses online websites through mobile devices. The sales of ice cream through online channels increased by 6% during 2018-2021.
- In the off-trade segment, consumers prefer buying ice cream from supermarkets/hypermarkets, as the country is home to a large number of supermarkets. Currently, there are 63,419 supermarkets in the United States. Supermarket sales for ice cream in the United States grew by 3% in terms of value from 2018 to 2021. About 60% of mass players and large national supermarket retailers in the United States invested in 2020 to improve their ability to better personalize promotions and pricing by strategizing on significant price drops, store remodels, and supply chain investments. Several supermarket chains also introduced click-and-collect and delivery services through third-party providers.
United States Ice Cream Market Trends
The increasing influence of innovative flavors is impacting the consumption of ice cream in the United States

As of 2021, almost 74% of the US population eats ice cream at least once a week, which they also like to eat at home, while 84% of the US population purchased ice cream at grocery stores and ate it at home.
