The global cold chain packaging market size reached US$ 24.6 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 47.4 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3% during 2023-2028.
A cold chain refers to a temperature-controlled supply chain comprising storage, transportation and distribution facilities for perishable goods, such as vaccines, chemicals, biologics, lab samples, diagnostic materials, seafood, meats, and dairy products. It relies on packaging solutions like refrigerant bricks, gel packs and bottles, thermal trolleys, and insulated containers, covers, and envelopes to keep products cold, improve transportation efficiency, and prevent waste and damage. As a result, cold chain packaging finds extensive applications in the pharmaceutical and food and beverage (F&B) industries across the globe.
The rising demand for temperature-sensitive products represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. Besides this, there is an increase in the utilization of pallets made using high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a material suitable for contact with food and storage of goods at room temperature and cold storage. Moreover, the escalating demand for special packaging solutions, which enable transportation of fishes in crushed ice to ensure that they do not escape outside when placed on the respective pads and offer protection if the ice melts, is strengthening the market growth. Besides this, pharmaceutical products are transported using isothermal polystyrene (PS) containers with internal cooling cartridges to provide appropriate conditions for transport. This, along with the introduction of stringent guidelines for the safe storage and distribution of time- and temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products (TTSPPs) from international health organizations, is impelling the market growth. Furthermore, leading players are offering thermally insulated tanks to transport liquid products, vulnerable to quality modifications due to temperature changes. This, coupled with recent advancements in cold-chain technology, is strengthening the market growth. Other factors, including significant growth in the food and beverage (F&B) industry and rapid globalization around the world, are driving the market.
