Ice/Dry Ice Packs Drive Market Growth for Reusable Ice Packs

Currently, ice/dry-ice packs are one of the leading product types, both by volume and value, and are expected to maintain their dominance with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Dry ice, also known as card ice, is frozen carbon dioxide. Dry ice is used as a cooling agent in extremely cold temperatures of around -78.5 °C (-109.3 °F). The super cool properties and sublimation of solids to gases enhance its applications as a cooling agent in industrial applications. This form of ice is increasingly used for shipping medical and clinical laboratory shipments. The property of dry ice to sublimate directly into gas prevents the saturation of the product with water, thereby enhancing its commercial use. Frozen and perishable foods are easily shipped with the help of dry ice packs. Apart from this, dry icepacks witness surging demand from the food and beverage industry (the confectionery industry), such as in the shipping of foods such as cheesecakes and pastries. Dry ice keeps the shipments cold, thereby protecting the product from decay.

-Refrigerant ge- based icepacksares are estimated to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period owing to their huge application in pharmaceuticals items. Refrigerant ge- based icepacks are basically portable plasticsacsc filled with refrigerant gel. Thecontentstofnthe bags are frozen in a freezer. They are mainly used for shipping meat, medical supplies, seafood,d, and biological material, among others. Refrigerant gel packs are created by adding propylene glycol, vinyl-coated silica gel,l, and hydroxyethyl cellulose into the bag. Vinyl-coated silica gel helps to maintain the cold and keeps all the ingredients of refrigerant gel packs together. Hydroxyethyl cellulose offers structural strength to the gel packs. Propylene glycol aims to increase the reusability of packs,s whereby it can be used multiple times without failure. For shipping and transporting purposes, gel packs are a better alternative to ic or /devices owing to the fact that they last longer and are not exposed to the extremely cold temperatures that dry ice,s thereby keeping the temperature between 2°C and eight °C depending on the starting temperature and weight of the product. It also finds application in pharmaceutical items,s owing to the fact that refrigerant ge- based packs do not contaminate the product. K-Lock Synthetic Gel Packs offered by Cooler Warehouse are to- based on and aim to maintain a temperature of 0 °C throughout the phase-changing process. These are basically designed to last longer than dry ice while remaining non-toxic, safe, and puncture-resistant.

In 2017, Food & Beverage was identified as the dominant application segment.

Food and beverage storage requires cold chain procedures, and ice packs are key components of cold chain storage. These ice packs are used to keep the food products, raw flesh, fruits, vegetables, and beverages cool inside the carrier, cooler, or cold box. A number of ice packs are required to keep a cold box, cooler, or carrier within the safe temperature range. The quantity of ice thus required is based on the type of box or cooler. The insulation layer of the box, its volume, and the amount of food and beverage to be stored are also some of the major factors to be considered while storing them. Food and beverages are perishable, so they have to be isolated from the environment and stored in a cooler environment. This makes them safe and fit for consumption. The reusability of these ice packs makes them the cheapest refrigerant sources to keep the products cool and to be stored for longer periods of time. The use of reusable icepacks minimizes the use of heavy, expensive, and complex chiller units and other refrigeration systems. Hospitals, urgent care centers, physical therapy clinics, and surgery centers, among other healthcare facilities, extensively use ice packs to treat injuries. Medical & Healthcare is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. Acupuncturists and homeopaths, for example, all use gel-filled reusable ice packs to relieve temporary physical trauma. Vast usage in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries is considered a major driving factor for the high market presence of ice packs in the global market.
