Canada’s ice cream market is poised to expand by USD 1.03 billion between 2025 and 2030, translating to a compound annual growth rate approaching 5.11%. Rising temperatures and an increase in the number of hot days in the country’s most densely populated regions, a trend linked to climate change, are expected to underpin sustained demand throughout the forecast horizon. Warmer summers not only extend the peak consumption season but also stimulate impulse purchases across both retail and foodservice channels.
Beyond weather-driven consumption, shifting consumer priorities toward health and wellness are reshaping the category’s product landscape. The expansion of plant-based consumer segments is fueling demand for offerings such as high-protein ice cream and lactose-free variants, broadening the appeal of the category to health-conscious buyers and those with dietary restrictions. These preferences are further reinforced by the rising prominence of clean-label claims, gluten-free certifications, and “better-for-you” attributes like reduced sugar and calorie content.
While indulgence remains central to ice cream’s positioning, the convergence of climatic shifts, evolving nutritional priorities, and innovation in health-oriented formulations is redefining market growth pathways. Brands that successfully balance sensory appeal with wellness-oriented features are likely to capture an outsized share of the incremental demand in Canada over the coming years.
