Artisanal ice cream in Italy is experiencing a golden moment, with a turnover increase of 11% in 2023. This positive trend is also reflected in the organizers of Gelato Day (which will take place again this year on March 24), where sub-zero temperatures take center stage not only in summer but also throughout the year, with a consumption increase of +13%.

This bodes well for the future of the entire industry, which, as a whole (gelaterias, ingredients, machines, equipment, displays), is worth over 4 billion euros and employs more than 100,000 people. A flourishing sector in terms of numbers but also quality, as depicted in the eighth edition of the Gelaterias in Italy guide, presented today at Sigep - Salone Internazionale della Gelateria, Pasticceria, Panificazione Artigianali e Caffè (International Exhibition of Artisanal Gelato, Pastry, Bakery, and Coffee)
