Frozen Yogurt Individual by Greg Schneider https://padlet.com/gschneider24/1xs6pwtbmje8 Post data and source en-us 2016-08-31 19:53:03 UTC 2026-03-07 22:56:09 UTC hello@padlet.com Riley https://padlet.com/gschneider24/1xs6pwtbmje8/wish/123863923 Packaged Facts estimates the U.S. market for yogurt sold at retail to be almost $9 billion in 2014, up 3.4%.  As previously mentioned, this growth can be attributed to one subcategory:  Greek yogurt.  Greek yogurt went from being just 1% of the market in 2007 to becoming the most important trend shaping the industry.  However, growth has slowed considerably in the last year, down from recent years when it was high single digits or more annually.  Nevertheless, the market's outlook remains favorable so long as marketers continue to expand the presence of yogurt into other areas. Looking ahead, Packaged Facts estimates that yogurt sales will hit $10.3 billion by 2017.  

While Packaged Facts does not expect Greek yogurt sales to evaporate, yogurt marketers will need to find other ways to keep the market growing.  Some marketers have already started to recognize this. They're now focusing on segments with growth potential, such as babies/toddlers and kids.  Concentrating on this segment, the thinking goes, should help generate future adult yogurt buyers.  The industry is also trying to expand consumption to other dayparts besides breakfast, particularly emphasizing yogurt as a snack.  Presently, the majority of yogurt is consumed before 11 am with very little consumption after 4 pm. 

Despite downward trends in the past, the success of big-name frozen yogurt franchises indicate long term expansion in the future. For instance, froyo big shot Red Mango recently raised $12 million and plans on adding 550 locations within the next five years. Additionally, Canadian franchise Yogen Fruz has diversified to several international locations, including Brazil, Vietnam, and Switzerland.  Nation’s Restaurant News food editor Bret Thorn says, “Yogurt will likely be a longer-lasting trend, and I see no reason why the frozen variety should fade out.” NRN also reported that the last two years demonstrated a “steady increase in interest in probiotics,” microorganisms in yogurt cultures that have been proven to improve immune system and digestive health.

Packaged Facts estimates the US market for yogurt sold at retail to be almost $9 billion in 2014, up 3.4 percent.  This growth can be attributed to one subcategory:  Greek yogurt.
“Greek yogurt went from being just 1 percent of the market in 2007 to becoming the most important trend shaping the industry,” researchers say.  “However, growth has slowed considerably in the last year, down from recent years when it was high single digits or more annually.  Nevertheless, the market's outlook remains favorable so long as marketers continue to expand the presence of yogurt into other areas. Looking ahead, Packaged Facts estimates that yogurt sales will hit $10.3 billion by 2017.”

Fresh yogurt contains probiotics, a type of bacteria that helps both prevent digestive problems and boost your immune system.Probiotics, however, do not survive in cold temperatures, and are lost in the freezing process associated with frozen yogurt. syaeger https://padlet.com/gschneider24/1xs6pwtbmje8/wish/123865328 http://share.upmc.com/2016/05/is-frozen-yogurt-healthy/

Yogurt can be made by any mammal that produces milk.  Goats, sheep and water buffalo are commonly used in the United States while other countries often use the milk from a yak or camel.
Yogurt benefits the body in a multitude of different ways.  Some of these include:
  • Boosts your immune system
  • Lowers serum cholesterol
  • Help overcome lactose intolerance and aid in the digestion of milk proteins
  • Prevents some yeast infections
  • Yogurt is a great source of protein, calcium, potassium and the vitamins B12 and Riboflavin

Health conscious consumers are the key driving factor for the frozen yogurt market in North America. Frozen yogurt is considered as a healthy substitute for ice cream, owing to fewer calories, lower fat content, and enhanced nutrient content per serving. To attract customers, frozen yogurt chains such as Orange Leaf, Menchie's, sweetFrog, and Yogurtland display calories-per-serving signage for every flavor offered,” said Vijay Sarathi, one of Technavio’s lead industry analysts for food products.]]> 2016-09-14 17:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gschneider24/1xs6pwtbmje8/wish/123865953 Sharon syaeger https://padlet.com/gschneider24/1xs6pwtbmje8/wish/123866848 1980 marked the beginning of the first wave of success in the frozen yogurt franchise industry. For the next decade, frozen yogurt franchises sprung up in every street corner and mall plaza, dominating America’s industry for frozen desserts. However, after 10 years of froyo franchise madness, the most popular frozen yogurt franchises like TCBY and I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt began to lose ground to competing ice cream shops and coffee houses. According to the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center, retail sales of frozen yogurt fell between 1998 and 2003, while ice cream sales grew by 24%.

Although the popularity of the frozen yogurt franchise industry suffered a decline in the late 1990’s, the category has been making a colossal comeback in the last decade, with a new generation of flavors, toppings, and store settings leading the charge. With this new wave of frozen yogurt franchises blossoming, new franchisees will find that this industry is nowhere near its freezing point.

The health website AskDrSears.com explains that the lactic acid bacteria used to produce yogurt includes Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaris.

Rather than the sweet fro-yo of 20 years ago, which aimed to mimic ice cream, "what you're seeing right now is more about the yogurt—a product that is focused on delivering that tart yogurt flavor, and it's also about a product that's healthier," says Elise Cortina Fennig, spokesperson for the National Yogurt Association.]]> 2016-09-14 17:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gschneider24/1xs6pwtbmje8/wish/123868857 Austin https://padlet.com/gschneider24/1xs6pwtbmje8/wish/123869131 Between the fall of 2010 and the fall of 2011, the number of retail frozen yogurt shops in this country climbed from 3,624 to 4,765—a 31 percent spike. ]]> 2016-09-14 17:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gschneider24/1xs6pwtbmje8/wish/123869131 Austin  https://padlet.com/gschneider24/1xs6pwtbmje8/wish/123869308 According to Tristano, sales reported by frozen dessert shops, in general, have hovered at $6 billion per year, but "consumers have just shifted from ice cream to frozen yogurt."

  • Fat - Unless you're using the nonfat varieties, Greek yogurt has about three times the saturated fat than regular yogurt.
  • Sodium - Greek yogurt contains about half the sodium of regular yogurt.
  • Carbohydrates - Greek yogurt contains roughly half the carbohydrates of regular yogurt, but remember that adding sweeteners to either one will increase the carbohydrate count.
