The Global Frozen Yogurt Market size was valued at USD 1.75 Billion in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD 2.39 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising awareness regarding healthy food and diet among consumers across the globe.
Frozen yogurt, also known as Froyo, is a frozen dessert made with a mixture of yogurt and other dairy or non-dairy products. Frozen yogurt is a popular choice of dessert, apart from ice cream, to consume in hot weather, especially in the summertime. There are a few differences between these two frozen treats. Ice cream is a mix of milk or cream, sweeteners, and other natural or synthetic flavors.
All these ingredients are churned together as they freeze to make ice cream. Although frozen yogurt is made from milk or cream, sweeteners, and flavors, it contains live bacterial culture as well. Yogurt is made from cultured milk, which means it tends to have a sour flavor, compared with milk. Depending upon the amount of yogurt, sweeteners, and other flavors in the dessert, frozen yogurt can have a sweet or sour taste. The flavors used in frozen yogurt include fruits, vanilla, fruit extracts, cocoa, spices, sugars, and others.
Frozen yogurt is made with pasteurized milk, in which live bacteria culture is added. The milk is blended to ensure that the mixture retains a smooth consistency. The mixture is heated up to a certain amount and then, cooled down. Then milk or cream, sweeteners, stabilizers, colors, and flavors are added to the mixture. Air is injected into the mixture to give it a light and creamy texture. The mixture is cooled down further before serving the frozen yogurt. Frozen yogurt is usually served with a variety of toppings such as fresh fruits, chocolate chips, sprinkles, and others.
In comparison with ice cream, frozen yogurt is claimed to be a healthier option. Low-fat frozen yogurt has become a popular choice among consumers in recent years. Although both contain dairy and sugar, frozen yogurt contains live culture bacteria, which help in improving the immune system, managing blood pressure, and boosting the digestive system. Frozen yogurt is lower in calories and fat than ice cream, which makes it a healthy dessert.
With the increasing popularity of frozen yogurt among consumers, several major competitors in the frozen yogurt market launch various offers to attract customers and expand their business. For example, on July 23, 2022, Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt, a US-based frozen yogurt chain company, offered Buy One and Get One (BOGO) deal on frozen yogurt at participating locations. The offer was to commemorate the 15th birthday of Menchie's Frozen Yogurt. In May 2022, Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt introduced a refreshing watermelon flavor for the summer months to attract customers.
COVID-19 Impact on Frozen Yogurt Market
The COVID-19 pandemic situation affected the frozen yogurt market negatively. The lockdown, social distancing, and other restrictions affected the manufacturing and sales of the market negatively. Conversely, the pandemic shifted consumer preferences toward immunity-boosting and healthy food products such as frozen yogurt. Key companies in the frozen yogurt industry improved their products by incorporating organic ingredients, launching vegan frozen yogurt, and making the products cholesterol-free. This facilitated the expansion of the frozen yogurt market in recent years.
