Between 2025 and 2030, Poland’s ice cream market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 6.99%, increasing from USD 1.9 billion to USD 2.7 billion. This growth is underpinned by a convergence of consumer behavior shifts, climatic factors, and technological advancements. Amid persistent economic pressures, ice cream continues to be perceived as an affordable indulgence, sustaining steady sales in both volume and value. Extended and warmer European summers have reinforced its role as a refreshing treat, boosting demand across all categories.
At the same time, rising health and sustainability awareness is reshaping consumption patterns. Products featuring plant-based ingredients, lower sugar content, natural formulations, and recyclable packaging are increasingly sought after, with plant-based ice cream emerging as the fastest-growing segment. Its acceleration is fueled by broader wellness and environmental trends, expanding retail penetration, and innovations in flavor and texture.
Technological progress in e-commerce is further transforming market dynamics. Online platforms, rapid delivery services, and brand-managed distribution networks are mitigating cold-chain challenges, enabling same-day delivery that enhances consumer confidence. Retailers leverage data-driven shelf management to optimize local assortments, maximizing sales potential. Although currently a modest share, e-commerce—including express delivery channels—exhibits strong momentum, particularly in urban centers, underscoring its long-term growth potential.
The interplay of affordable indulgence, climate-driven consumption, sustainability trends, and digital distribution positions Poland’s ice cream market for sustained and diversified expansion through 2030.
