In today’s fast-paced market, consumers are seeking snacks that offer convenience, mindful indulgence, and multi-sensory experiences. One format is leading this evolution: waffle cone snacks. Why? Because they provide the perfect balance — a delicious, satisfying bite without excess, ideal for enjoying without guilt.​

Waffle cone snacks have gained significant traction due to their visual appeal, crunchy texture, flavor versatility, and ease of consumption. This format is quickly becoming a category favorite for brands looking to differentiate.​

Market growth backed by data​

According to DataHorizon Research: The ice cream cone segment is projected to grow from USD 1.2 billion in 2024 to USD 1.8 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 4.5%.​

This growth reflects the increasing demand for premium, portion-controlled snack formats — and waffle cone snacks are at the center of that trend.
​
Consumers are consistently drawn to crunchy textures and the nostalgic, lightly sweet flavor of wafer-style cones. Extending this familiar experience into new, portable snack formats like waffle cone snacks presents a unique opportunity for brands to connect indulgence with convenience — delivering a product that satisfies both taste and modern snacking preferences.​
