• The market size for insulated shipping packaging is anticipated to experience robust growth in the coming years, surging to $11.29 billion in 2029 with a CAGR of 7.9%.
This upward trajectory during the forecast period can be tied to factors like the use of advanced phase change materials (pcms) for controlling temperature, the incorporation of smart sensors and iot for real-time tracking of shipments, the escalating need for customized and personalized packaging solutions, the growing expansion of cell and gene therapy shipments in biopharmaceuticals, and research and development in futuristic insulated packaging materials. Notable trends during the projected period encompass the utilization of high-efficiency insulation materials, the blending of active and passive cooling technologies, tailored packaging designs, smart packaging equipped with temperature sensors and trackers, and performance testing and validation of packaging.
What Key Factors and Trends are Driving the Growth of the Insulated Shipping Packaging Market?
The upward trend in frozen food consumption is playing a significant role in propelling the insulated shipping packaging market. Frozen foods, defined as those rapidly frozen and kept in the same state until consumption, require insulated shipping packaging to maintain their constant temperature. For instance, per the American Frozen Food Institute, an FMI Study based in the U.S., it was revealed that the sales of frozen food surged by 8.6% in February 2022, accumulating to $72.2 billion for the entire year. This rising trend in frozen food consumption is expected to fuel the expansion of the insulated shipping packaging market.
