Insulated packaging refers to the packaging solutions used for storing and transporting temperature-sensitive products. It is used for maintaining the desired temperature and keeping the contents refrigerated, frozen and warm. Insulated packaging is commonly available in the form of flexible sheets, pre-formed shapes, boxes, bags, flexible blankets and rigid boards. They are manufactured using expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), polyurethane foam, insulating cement, expanded silica, radiant barrier films and mineral fibers. The packaging provides high resistance to heat transfer, enhanced durability, mechanical strength and low moisture susceptibility. As a result, they are widely used for products, such as cosmetics, seafood, ice creams, meats, alcohols, fresh herbs and gourmet foods.
Significant growth in the e-commerce industry across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Insulated packaging is widely used for protecting perishable goods from damage caused by temperature variations during storage and transportation. Moreover, the widespread adoption of insulated packaging solutions for delivering food and beverages with no wastage and spillage is providing a thrust to the market growth. With the changing lifestyles and dietary patterns, there is a shifting consumer preference toward processed and packaged ready-to-eat food products. Insulated packaging aids in maintaining a stable temperature and keeping the food fresh and fit for consumption. Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of recycled and recyclable environment-friendly packaging products, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Product manufacturers are also offering customizable and personalized insulated packaging solutions for improved branding services, which is also favoring the market growth. Other factors, including the increasing demand for insulated packaging to store vaccines, blood samples and medicines, along with the adoption of omnichannel distribution strategies by organizations for their products, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
