Insulated Packaging Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028 Segmented By Material, By Packaging Type, By Type, By Application, By Region, and Competition

Global Insulated Packaging market is anticipated to grow significantly through 2028 due to increasing demand from the food & beverage sector. In 2021, annual sales of retail food and beverage stores in the United States stood at around USD 880 billion.

Insulated packaging is widely utilized by several end-use sectors because it successfully helps to avoid harm to items from physical damage, variations in temperature and pressure, and other factors. Moreover, an increase in the standard of living and quickly rising e-commerce sectors in developing nations are propelling the insulated packaging market in the upcoming years.

Increasing Demand from Food & Beverage Sector

The demand for packaged food and the consumption of ready-to-eat meals is driving substantial expansion in the food and beverage packaging business. A thermally regulated environment is also required for the transportation and storage of perishables due to the rising trend of online food ordering and grocery shopping. The key issues facing the food sector are protection, preservation, upkeep, and increasing the shelf life of food goods. Choosing the proper packaging is essential since food products are prone to degrade over time, impacting their flavor, taste, texture, and color.

For instance, in October 2021, frozen food sales in the United States were more than USD 9000 million, in which ice cream contributed the most to the sales of frozen food in the region with USD 1400 million.

The structure, thermal insulation, and refrigerant capacity of frozen food packaging should be such that the product temperature is continually maintained at or below 0°C (32°F). It is necessary to use insulated shipping boxes because they prevent heat transfer between the inside and outside air.

Thus, increasing demand for sustainable and Insulated packaging material by the food & beverage sector is anticipated to boost the growth of Global Insulated Packaging Market in the upcoming years.

Growing Demand from Electronic Industry

Electronic items must be carefully packaged and sent since they are very costly and delicate in nature. Almost all battery connections must be protected from short-circuiting while being shipped. To do this, they are entirely wrapped in an insulating wrapping to shield the exposed terminals.

For instance, according to the United States International Trade Commission, U.S. total exports of electronic products increased by 3.1%, and general imports of electronic products increased by 4.5 % in 2018.

Therefore, the growing demand for Insulated packaging from the electronics industry will result in the growth of Global Insulated Packaging market in the projected years.

Flexible Packaging will be the Key Type.

Flexible packaging is increasing in demand because of its practical shape, simplicity of use, ability to be resold, lightweight, and reduced environmental effect. Also, the expansion of the market is fueled by the usage of flexible packaging in ready-to-eat food goods and vegetables. Products with flexible packaging are sealed using heat & pressure. Polypropylene, polyethylene, nylon, and polyester are polymers that are utilized to make flexible packaging items.

For instance, in 2019, according to the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA), flexible Packaging has about 19% of the packaging market in the United States, reporting for around 59 % of shipments.

All these factors support the demand for flexible insulated packaging, which led to the growth of the Global Insulated Packaging Market during the forecast years.
