Ice cream in Ireland in 2024 is recovering, having been one of the snacks categories most severely impacted by inflationary pressures. The heightened cost of milk, sugar and cocoa, key ingredients in ice cream production, led to high single0digit price increases in 2023, causing retail volume sales to decline. In 2024, the situation is improved as price increases are significantly lowered amid the ease in the cost of milk, although sugar and cocoa prices continue to rise.
