price developments and market comparisons

The price increase in ice is not just a local phenomenon. According to KRÄE Eistechnik, prices for a ball of ice cream rose on average by 6.2 %last year, which increases the nationwide price to 1.72 euros per ball. In large cities such as Munich, Stuttgart and Frankfurt, prices are even higher. Compared internationally, the prices in Portugal and Greece are around 2.50 euros and in Spain even 3.00 euros per ball.

Despite these increases, pricing policy does not necessarily lead to higher profits for the ice cream parlors. Explosions in energy and raw material costs as well as rising personnel costs put under pressure. A look at consumption habits also shows that ice consumption in Germany is slightly declining. In 2022, consumption was 8.1 liters per capita, which dropped to 7.9 liters in 2023.

Overall, it can be seen that the ice cream parlors in northern Germany find interactive and creative ways to assert themselves on an increasingly competitive market. The combination of tradition and innovation will continue to arouse the interest of ice -loving customers.
