Ice cream in Germany - statistics & facts
Everyone screams ice cream! While German consumers may not be prone to going that far for one of the most popular desserts on the planet, they certainly show their appreciation. Ice cream can be enjoyed not just in warmer weather, with packaged flavors available in supermarkets all year round. The leading brands among consumers were Magnum, Cremissimo and Ben & Jerry's. Still, spring and summer are special seasons for ice cream consumers. Germany is virtually transformed through ice cream vendors and cafes opening across the country. The population lines up for a scoop or two of the treat, often with children in tow, and enthusiastically compares opinions. This period is a lucrative time for ice cream businesses, which often sublease their location during the colder months, when the German appetite for eating ice cream outside mostly disappears. By the way, Düsseldorf is on the list of cities with the most ice cream shops in Europe.
