Which type of ice is the easiest to sell? Answer from ICE COOL ice machine expert

When starting or expanding an ice business, a key question always arises: Which type of ice is the easiest to sell? This seemingly simple question carries many layers of meaning – from market research, consumer trends to machine operation capabilities.

In today’s article, let’s discover the answer from the technical and business experts of ICE COOL – a prestigious ice machine brand in Vietnam, which has accompanied hundreds of successful ice factories nationwide.

Ice market – Great potential but need to choose the right strategy

The ice consumption market in Vietnam is extremely large and diverse. From the need for drinking soft drinks, preserving food to industries such as seafood, catering services, all require the use of ice in large quantities. However, not all types of ice are “easy to sell” or “sell quickly”. The concept of “easy to sell” does not only lie in having buyers, but also includes: popular demand, stable consumption, fast turnover and flexibility in operation.

Therefore, to choose the easiest type of ice to sell, investors need to clearly understand: the area where they do business has the typical consumption, who the target customer group is, and the production capacity of the ice machine. This is also the reason why successful investors often choose to start with ICE COOL ice machines – not only because of the quality of the machine, but also because they are advised to choose the most suitable type of ice for the locality where they live and do business.

Coffee ice cubes – “King of consumption” in the beverage market

According to statistics from the ICE COOL team, ice cubes with a diameter of 19mm to 22mm, also known as coffee ice or milk tea ice, are the type of ice with the largest and most stable consumption in most provinces and cities. This is not surprising considering the consumption habits of Vietnamese people, when the culture of drinking coffee, milk tea, and sugarcane juice has become an indispensable part of daily life.

The ice cubes are small in size, have a moderate melting time, and are suitable for plastic cups, paper cups, and take-away drinks. This convenience has made coffee ice cubes the “easiest-to-sell” product in the group of soft drink ice cubes. Not only that, the investment cost of this ice making machine is not too high, the machine is easy to operate, the packaging process is simple, helping to increase capital turnover and minimize business risks.

At many factories using ICE COOL tube ice machine, with just one machine with a capacity of 1-2 tons/day, coffee ice cubes are enough to supply dozens of water shops and cafes within a radius of 10km while still ensuring the quality of pure ice, no turbidity, no breakage, no impurities.

Stone beer – Big market in the North and tourist areas

Besides coffee ice, another type of ice is also consumed very strongly, especially in the North and areas with many restaurants and pubs, which is beer ice. This type of ice has a diameter of 48mm, the length of the ice can be customized from 65 to 100mm depending on the type of glass used.

Beer ice is characterized by large, firm, slow-melting, and long-lasting coldness – very suitable for use in draft beer, fresh beer, especially in outdoor pubs or densely populated areas. Although not as frequently used as coffee ice, the group of customers consuming beer ice is often units with large, stable, and long-term consumption levels.

However, the production of beer ice requires a more specialized machinery system. ICE COOL ice machines have designed machines specifically for this type of ice with powerful operation, large ice mills, optimal cooling systems and precise ice cutting systems. Thanks to that, ice making time is significantly shortened even though the ice cubes are larger than normal.

Choose the right machine to produce the right type of ice that is easy to sell.

The question “Which type of ice is the easiest to sell?” cannot be separated from the production technology factor. A type of ice is easy to sell but if the machine does not respond well, operates unstably, or is not suitable for local conditions, it will be difficult to succeed.

This is the great strength of the ICE COOL brand. Not only providing ice machines with a capacity range from 500kg to 30 tons/day, ICE COOL also provides detailed advice to customers on the type of ice most suitable for the local market, ensuring optimal investment efficiency, easy operation, and simple maintenance.

ICE COOL’s intelligent PLC control system allows precise adjustment of parameters for each batch of ice, control of ice length, and fully automatic cooling – defrosting – ice cutting cycles. Therefore, whether producing small ice or beer ice, the output quality is always consistent, transparent and meets food hygiene standards.

What kind of stone should you choose when starting a business?

According to advice from ICE COOL experts, for new investors, choosing coffee ice cubes (19mm – 22mm) to start is a safe and effective choice. This is the type of ice that is easiest to access the market, has high consumption all year round and is suitable for the majority of localities. When the model is stable, revenue is maintained well, then it is possible to expand the product line of beer ice or crushed ice for food depending on local needs.

Investing in an ice machine should also start with a moderate capacity machine, about 1-2 tons/day. When production increases or the number of customers expands, it is completely possible to add more machines or upgrade to a higher capacity. ICE COOL machines are always designed in modules, easy to assemble and expand, suitable for both household business models and large factories.

Understand the market correctly – choose the right type of stone – invest in the right machine

The question “Which type of ice cubes is easiest to sell?” is the starting point of a smart business strategy. And from a comprehensive perspective of the market, production techniques and consumer behavior, it can be affirmed that: ice cubes with a diameter of 19mm – 22mm are the easiest to sell, thanks to high demand, simple production, reasonable investment costs and fast profit turnover.

However, to be truly successful, the choice of ice type must be accompanied by the choice of the right ice machine. And ICE COOL – a reputable, quality ice machine brand that provides comprehensive support from consulting, installation to maintenance – is a reliable friend for all ice investors on the journey of long-term and sustainable development.
