Did you know…Consumers eat both breakfast AND ice cream REGULARLY?!?
Check out our latest consumer research on ice cream buying and eating habits to see what was uncovered as an opportunity for new positioning!
Our research found that 64% of US shoppers feel frozen treats & ice cream can be part of a healthy diet. And…
80% of Americans eat ice cream often or very often:
- 50% Very Often (3-5 times or more a week)
- 30% Often (1-2 times a week)
- 16% Occasionally (1-2 times a month)
- 47% eat Novelties
What does this mean for your business?
There’s an opportunity to expand the meal occasion – giving consumers new on-the-go breakfast or snack choices and variety.
Leverage these trends:
- The rise of ‘anytime eating’ in the home
- Consumer interest in novelties (and flavored milk, coffees, and milk alternatives!)
- Increase in breakfast and snacks, plus the “breakfast anytime” trend!
- The drive for comfort foods and comfort flavors
- Consumer demand for excitement and experimentation
- The need for on-the-go food options
- The hunt for better-for-you choices
