The global vegan dessert market size is anticipated to reach USD 8.32 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.

In addition, rising income and health consciousness among consumers have been driving the sales of dairy-free foods worldwide.
Increasing number of ice cream industry players are exploring the opportunity to enter the vegan sector. For instance, in January 2025 Galaxy, a brand owned by Mars Wrigley, expanded its range of vegan chocolates with the introduction of a Dairy-Free Hazelnut Praline bar. This new offering features a smooth praline filling encased in chocolate made with hazelnut paste.
Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a steady growth rate in the upcoming years, owing to the increasing acceptance of veganism in the region. As a result, companies have been strengthening their presence in the region. For instance, In April 2024, the Indian brand Plantaway expanded its portfolio of plant-based products with the launch of a new range of dairy-free and sugar-free gelatos.
