Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and consumption volume analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 50+ key manufacturers and artisanal producers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
Product mapping across vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, pistachio, green tea, and emerging exotic flavor categories
Packaging segmentation analysis covering single-serve, multi-serve, novelty, and bulk formats
Distribution channel assessment across supermarkets/hypermarkets, convenience stores, online retailers, and ice cream parlors/cafés
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to gourmet and premium ice cream portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers representing 72-78% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (consumption volume × ASP by country/region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations, incorporating seasonal demand fluctuations and regional taste preferences
