Fresh cream is a dairy product prepared by boiling and sterilizing milk at a high temperature. It is ivory in color, velvety in texture, luscious in taste, and richer than milk. It is used as a key ingredient in food products to enhance flavor and provide a thicker consistency. It is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin B2 that promotes the development of red blood cells (RBC), boosts the immune system, and maintains overall health. Besides this, it helps strengthen bones and teeth, improves brain functioning, and provides energy. As a result, fresh cream is extensively used in domestic and commercial applications across cafes, hotels, restaurants, and bakeries.

Fresh Cream Market Trends:

A significant rise in the food and beverage (F&B) industry represents one of the key factors positively influencing the market. It can also be attributed to the extensive applications of fresh cream in preparing ice cream, shakes, sauces, pasta, custards, and sandwiches. In addition, the growing global population is driving the demand for dairy and baked food products, which, in turn, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, fast-paced lifestyles and changing dietary patterns of individuals are catalyzing the demand for fast food and ready-to-eat (RTE) products prepared with fresh cream. Additionally, the increasing consumption of alcoholic beverages, especially among the millennial population, is contributing to market growth. Along with this, the emerging trend of food vlogging and the rising use of fresh cream in the cosmetic industry to formulate personal care products are offering lucrative growth opportunities to manufacturers. Furthermore, the rising health awareness among individuals is propelling market players to introduce low-fat and vegan fresh creams. Besides this, the expansion of organized distribution channels, including supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores, and departmental stores, is driving the market.
