World’s eating less ice cream, but India’s is growing fastest

The world is turning warmer but surprisingly, demand for ice cream isn’t keeping pace. In fact, it fell by a massive 16.7% between 2015 and 2016. Reason: People in some Western countries got spooked by their sugar consumption. For ice cream makers, hope now rest on countries in Asia and South America where demand is growing. Not surprisingly, India with its sweet tooth and large population is the fastest growing ice cream market today.
