Manufacture of ice cream

NACE v2.0 Code: C10.52

About manufacture of ice cream

NACE code 10.52 covers the manufacture of ice cream and other edible ice, such as sorbet. This industry plays a vital role in the food and beverage sector, providing a popular and versatile frozen dessert product consumed globally. As a key component of the 10.00 Manufacture of food products industry, the manufacture of ice cream contributes significantly to the overall economy.

Production process

The production of ice cream involves several key steps. First, the base ingredients, which typically include milk, cream, sugar, and flavorings, are combined and pasteurized. The mixture is then cooled and agitated to incorporate air, resulting in the desired smooth, creamy texture. Depending on the product, additional ingredients such as fruits, nuts, or chocolate may be added before the ice cream is packaged and frozen for distribution.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the manufacture of ice cream include dairy products (milk, cream), sweeteners (sugar, corn syrup), and a variety of flavorings and stabilizers. Specialized equipment such as batch freezers, homogenizers, and packaging machinery are also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on a reliable supply of electricity, water, and transportation infrastructure to support its operations.

Production outputs

The main output of this industry is, of course, ice cream and other frozen desserts. These products are then distributed and sold through a variety of channels, including 47.11 Retail sale in non-specialized stores with food, beverages or tobacco predominating, 47.25 Retail sale of beverages in specialized stores, and 56.10 Restaurants and mobile food service activities. The ice cream manufacturing industry also supplies its products to other food processing industries, such as 10.82 Manufacture of cocoa, chocolate and sugar confectionery.
