Plant-Based at PLMA

PLMA’s 2019 Private Label Trade Show is just a few short weeks away, and we’re counting lanugo the days sharing valuable insights to remember when you visit us at booth #F1327. This week we are sharing our hodgepodge of plant-based frozen desserts for retail/private label that will be showcased at this year’s PLMA show!

G.S. Gelato’s plant-based savor portfolio is quickly growing, and now includes Coconut, Oat, and Cashew Milk varieties. They are Certified Vegan as well as OU Kosher Certified. Our coconut and oat milk lines have received recognition from the National Restaurant Association, Store Brands Magazine, and Prepared Foods Magazine with prestigious awards for savor and innovation.

The plant-based supplies industry has been growing rapidly since its inception. While the total U.S. grocery sector has grown just 2 percent in dollar sales, the plant-based category has grown 11 percent in the same period, bringing the total plant-based market value to $4.5 billion. One of the leading drivers of this growth: plant-based frozen desserts.

Non-dairy is now the fastest growing segment of the frozen dessert category. Dairy-free “ice cream” sales are expected to surpass $1 billion worldwide by 2024 equal to research by Global Market Insights. The rise in dairy-free frozen desserts is based on one thing: demand. Significantly increasingly Americans are seeking to follow a increasingly plant-based diet. The reasons for living dairy-free are many, but equal to consumer data from Mintel, nearly half of those surveyed believe that plant-based proteins are healthier.
