Indian Ice Cream Expo-IICE is a revolution within itself in the global ice cream industry. Previously India was at the bottom of the per capita consumption chart compared to most of the developed and developing countries in the world for ice creams.
In past, India was not having adequate facilities in cold chain sector but due to constant efforts of the industry; big, medium and small manufacturers have put their efforts to create an environment where good quality ice creams can be delivered in consumer’s plate with most cost effective prices and world class quality.
Today the consumption of ice creams in India has doubled from 200 ml to 400 ml in just 5 years of efforts which still is much lower than USA or China. IICE has helped the industry to come together to solve these common issues. It has provided a platform to their entire manufacturing community to come in direct contact of the global services and materials providers. Participants from Europe, USA, China and other parts of the globe have provided first-hand information to the manufactures back in India who never had such kind of exposures and interactions. Industry has targeted to further double its per capita consumption by 2022 from 400 ml to 800ml.
On the other hand, the big brands such as Vadilal, Havmor, AMUL, Hatsun, Dairy Classic, Naturals, Scoops, Dinshaw, Creambell, Mother Dairy, Fun India Dairy etc used to have frequent visits to global events in search of newer trends for this industry but now they have reduced their visits because they now get entire solutions in IICE for the further development of their businesses.
IICE has been traveling between major cities of the country from Delhi to Hyderabad, from Mumbai to Bangalore and Ahmedabad to Chennai. This has provided the industry an exposure within the country and now due to new contacts they can dream of making ice creams in Ahmedabad or Mumbai and supply to Chennai or vice versa.
IICE is attracting manufactures from the neighbouring countries like UAE, Bangladesh, China, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, South East Asia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and other GCC countries and also from African nations, South America, Eastern Europe. They come to experience what they want for their business in IICE. IICE also provides Indian and global manufacturers of machinery and raw materials the opportunity to explore new sales territories.
Exhibitors from all walks of ice cream industry call IICE a Mecca for ice cream industry for this part of the world. Cold Chain solution providers, display freezers, cold rooms, processing machinery, packaging machinery and materials, consultants, food safety services and all kinds of ingredients and raw material providers occupy the entire layout of the IICE.
All these factors make Indian Ice Cream Expo a unique platform for Indian ice cream manufactures along with their counter parts coming from other parts of the world. And IICE also proves equally important for the allied segments mentioned above.
Today, none in this industry can ignore IICE!
We invite each one of you to join in this effort to make India a leading nation for ice cream consumption and manufacturing, thus A Mecca for entire ice cream world!!!
