Looking back on 2019, it appears the "clear ice" market is growing fast: Clear Ice Makers Market is estimated to be valued at USD 2,861.1 billion (sic) by 2025, registering a CAGR of 6.27% during the forecast period.

So there you have it! The market is sized at almost 3 billion dollars (the article has a typo saying that it is 2,861 billion, but that should read million). And it grew by 6%.

The rise of premium ice represents exponential growth potential for the clear ice industry. Strap in everyone! The next 10 years should be fun!
