Value of the ice cream market in Canada 2009-2019
Sales breakdown
Take-home and bulk, single-serve and artisanal are some of the main categories within the ice cream market.

The term artisanal can encompass small-batch ice cream producers, resulting in more handmade and generally more expensive products.

Chocolate and Neapolitan were ranked in second and third places, with around 89 and 18 million U.S. dollars’ worth of sales respectively.
