The rising adoption of online grocery shopping is expected to drive the growth of the deep-frozen packaging logistics market going forward. Online grocery shopping refers to the purchase of grocery products through digital platforms such as websites and mobile applications. The growth of online grocery shopping is driven by factors including convenience, time efficiency, wider product availability, busy consumer lifestyles, technological progress, competitive pricing, and enhanced delivery capabilities. Deep-frozen packaging logistics play a critical role by maintaining frozen foods such as vegetables, meat, and ready-to-eat meals at consistently low temperatures during transportation. This helps prevent spoilage, preserve nutritional quality, and ensure products reach consumers in optimal condition. For instance, in November 2024, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, a US-based government economic analysis unit, approximately 19.4% of U.S. grocery shoppers aged 15 and above purchased groceries online at least once in the previous 30 days during 2022-2023. Therefore, the growing adoption of online grocery shopping is driving the expansion of the deep-frozen packaging logistics market.

Major companies operating in the deep-frozen packaging logistics market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions such as advanced ultra-low-temperature dry shipper technologies to enhance temperature control and improve supply chain flexibility. Advanced ultra-low-temperature dry shipper technology comprises specialized thermal containers that utilize liquid nitrogen-absorbing materials to sustain temperatures as low as -196 °C, enabling ultra-cold preservation and the secure transportation of highly temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products. For instance, in April 2024, Logistics4Pharma, a Germany-based GDP-compliant pharmaceutical cold-chain logistics provider, introduced an ultra-low-temperature dry shipper service designed to transport pharmaceutical products across a broad temperature range from +25 °C down to -196 °C. This service incorporates liquid nitrogen-based thermal insulation and supports the shipment of complex and highly sensitive biologics while integrating with existing customs and bonded logistics services. The dry shipper improves cold-chain flexibility, expands operational temperature capabilities, and offers biotechnology customers more dependable deep-freeze transportation solutions.
