Franquias de sorvetes e a�a� se expandem pelo Brasil e miram mercado global

The booming segment of food franchising, particularly for sorvetes (ice cream) and açaí, has seen significant growth in Brazil, expanding 22% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. This impressive growth outpaces sectors like health, beauty, and cleaning, signaling a strong consumer preference for these niche markets. The expansion isn't just domestic; these franchises are now eyeing global markets, indicating a robust trend that could reshape the international food service landscape. This surge highlights a broader trend where health-conscious and gourmet food options are gaining traction worldwide.
