Vietnamโs ice cream market is set for a strong recovery following a period of slowdown caused by broader economic pressures, with industry value projected to climb from USD 496.0 million in 2025 to USD 716.1 million by 2030, representing a CAGR of 7.62%. Demand is underpinned by the enduring appeal of ice cream as a moment of indulgence and refreshment, particularly appealing in Vietnamโs consistently hot and humid climate. This climatic backdrop ensures a steady baseline of consumption, while the categoryโs positioning as an affordable treat has helped it regain momentum among consumers eager to enjoy small luxuries despite lingering economic constraints.
Brands are increasingly tailoring offerings to value-conscious households, introducing smaller and more affordable pack sizes that align with tightened snack budgets. Simultaneously, product innovation is broadening flavour diversity, aimed at capturing a wider spectrum of consumer tastes across different age and income groups. The segment continues to thrive as an impulse-driven category, with its positioning as an indulgent snack strengthening repeat purchases.
Although ice cream largely retains its status as a โtreatโ rather than a โhealthโ food, the emergence of premium independent outlets has begun to introduce alternatives such as low-sugar and plant-based varieties. While these remain a niche within the market, they signal a potential shift in preferences as health consciousness slowly builds among urban consumers. With sustained economic improvement expected to support discretionary spending, the interplay of affordability, indulgence, and evolving health trends is likely to shape Vietnamโs ice cream industry trajectory over the next decade.
