US organic ice cream market to hit $400m

According to a new report by Graphical Research, the US organic ice cream market will exceed to $400 million by 2024, which is a 4.5 percent growth rate.

In addition, the rising demand for private-label ice creams, advancement in take-home segments, innovative marketing strategies, and the availability of numerous flavours will substantially enhance the industry over the forecast period.
