The rising cost of living and persistent loadshedding are expected to continue, and consumers will remain under financial pressure over the forecast period. This is expected to result in a minimal decline in retail volume sales of ice cream in South Africa over the period 2024-2029.
Bulk dairy ice cream is expected to remain the largest ice cream category in South Africa in the forecast period thanks to its value and variety. However, the category is nearing maturity, already having a strong brand and private label presence.
Following the trend seen in many countries globally, a draft regulation – Regulations Relating to the Labelling and Advertising of Foodstuffs – was released in South Africa in 2023. There is no definitive news on this piece of legislation, but it is still expected to be implemented some time over the forecast period.
