Key Highlights
1. Private Label brands have about a 15% volume share of the Impulse and Take-home Ice Cream markets in France; Artisanal Ice Cream is from small local producers by definition. Although there are two or three main brands in each of these categories the remainder of the market is fragmented so there are opportunities for Private Label brands to grow further. Marketers of these smaller brands need to strengthen their position by differentiating their products and larger brands need to maintain their position to avoid also becoming a target for this competition.
2. The Impulse Ice Cream category has the largest share of the Ice Cream market in France at 39%; however all categories have a significant share so no single category dominates the market. Marketers can improve their appeal by operating in all possible markets, for example by offering a Take-home version of their Impulse Ice Cream and vice-versa.
3. The main behavioral trend influencing Ice Cream consumption in France is Indulgence. This is not only stated by consumers as the main trend but it has the largest influence by value. Marketers need to appeal to this attitude and behavior if they want their campaigns to be effective.
