Ice-cream makers are mixing and processing equipment that are used to produce ice-cream for customers. There are two primary types of ice-cream makers – hand-cranked or manual ice-cream makers and electric motor-based ice-cream makers.
Both the types are used to mix the ice-cream ingredients, and automation feature offered by motor-based ice-makers is the only difference between the two types. Once the ice-cream mixture is ready, the equipment freezes the mixture, and churns it continuously to aerate it and remove ice crystals.
The global ice-cream maker market is estimated to record a steady rate of growth during the forecast period. Industrial ice-cream making equipment for high ingredient throughput and ice-cream production has been the primary contributor to the global market growth owing to their high selling prices.
Adoption of commercial ice-cream makers by retailers of ice-cream, gelato and frozen yogurts is also contributing to the growth of the global market. However, availability of low cost ice-cream making appliances for personal use is estimated to record a faster rate of adoption during the forecast period.
Traditionally, ice-cream production demanded use of different processes and equipment. Conventional methods involved separate operations and equipment aimed at pasteurization, mixing, homogenization, freezing and aeration.
Today, ice-cream maker manufacturers are offering solutions which possess the ability to consolidate these distinct processes into a single production method. These miniaturized and multi-functional ice-cream making equipment and appliances take lesser time for producing the end-product.
Increasing adoption of such solutions for commercial and personal end-uses is estimated to boost market growth during the forecast period.
Adoption of industrial ice-cream makers is the primary factor driving the growth of the global market, owing to their high selling price. However, small- and medium-sized production operations cannot afford the high procurement costs.
Also, these industry-grade ice-cream makers demand continuous operation and timely maintenance, which incurs additional expenses. These factors are restricting the adoption of industrial ice-cream makers.
Additionally, multi-functional ice-cream making appliances for commercial and personal uses are very delicate in built, and this demotivates end-users from procuring such solutions.
Governments of economies that play a key role in ensuring market stability have legislated stringent nationwide lockdowns in order to restrict the spread of infections. Authorities are requesting citizens to incorporate social distancing measures, which has resulted in regional food and beverage industry taking a hit.
With strict lockdowns in effect, citizens of these countries are staying indoors and avoiding high public throughput venues. Retailers are forced to temporarily shut down their businesses and production plants are functioning at minimum workforce efficiency.
Due to these factors, manufacturing operations from the supply-side and procurement from demand-side have been halted until the lockdowns and restrictions are lifted.
However, adoption trend of ice-cream makers for personal use is estimated to continue on its trajectory during this time of crisis, as citizens who are forced to stay indoors strive to reap the recreational and DIY benefits of ice-cream makers.
