Dublin, Aug. 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Ice Cream and Frozen Desserts in the U.S., 9th Edition" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

ICE CREAM AND FROZEN DESSERTS IN THE U.S., 9TH EDITION

This report examines the market for ice cream and frozen desserts in the United States. The market is composed of two sectors, retail and foodservice. Ice Cream and Frozen Desserts in the U.S., 9th Edition draws the distinction that retail outlets sell packaged ice cream and frozen desserts, while foodservice venues sell bulk ice cream and frozen desserts by the scoop for immediate consumption on the premises or for take-out. Some outlets sell both, but even then these are typically more heavily invested in one of the two areas, either packaged or by the scoop. A balance between the two types of sales is uncommon.
