Description

The global insulated packaging market was valued at USD 14.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 18.68 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 5.7over the forecast periodInsulation packaging is vital for combating energy losses during transportationSome of the significant characteristics of insulated packaging are high resistance to heat transfer, low weight, low cost, low moisture susceptibility, ease of fabrication and transportation, durability, and mechanical strengthMoreover, due to the damage and wastage caused by inadequate temperature, the demand for insulated packaging is increasing as it maintains the temperature within the packaging and helps in slowing down the rate of deterioration of goods during distribution

Insulated packaging plays a significant role in other end-user industries, such as pharmaceutical and electronicsPharmaceutical is one of the major end-users of these insulated packaging as the product is sensitive to temperatureThe packaging of temperature-controlled pharmaceutical products and medical devices is witnessing considerable growth in the healthcare industry.

Similarly, the sector has been witnessing developments such as the increased benefit of Woolcool to ensure extra security for products during their transit and, in many cases allowing the use of refrigerated vehicles to be reduced or eliminatedMoreover, to maximize sustainability, many players innovate and develop products made from sustainable materialsExpanded Polystyrene (EPS), also known as Styrofoam, has been the most widely -used insulation across packaging formatsAs effective as an insulator, the World Health Organization has regarded disadvantages such as oil-based plastic and likely to be a carcinogenThis has led vendors in the market to study to launch insulated packaging with materials like repurposed plant fiber, recycled PET, and corn starch.

COVID-19 Impact on the Global Insulated Packaging

As a result of the pandemic, a record number of people are shopping for groceries online, and eateries are shifting to off-premises locationsThe pharmaceutical industry has also been vocal about the need for insulated packaging for temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticalsGiven the increase in e-commerce, the insulated packaging is projected to enjoy high sales with smaller e-commerce and food delivery forms for meal kits and other perishable food and beverage goodsBecause many parcels carrying fresh and frozen commodities need adequate insulation, the pandemic-induced behavioral shift has resulted in packages being kept outside for an extended period.

To deliver medicines, vaccines, and other kinds of clinical and medical goods, a client's health could be put at risk if insulation packaging failsThe nature of the products shipped by the Pharma industry means that they must be delivered intact and at the required temperature to ensure the same performanceThus, creating a substantial development on this format.

As of October 2020, Packaging Technology Group, Inc, a provider of thermal packaging solutions for the biopharmaceutical and life sciences sector, responded to the COVID -19 situation with the launch of its off-the-shelf line pre-qualified shippers with a sustainable alternativeAlso, the passive parcel engineering and product teams at CSafe recently revamped the thermal shipper's lineup to offer insulated vacuum panel (VIPtechnologyBeing pre-qualified to ISTA 7 D and ISTA 3 A (a worst-case challenge testingis made available in 96 hour and 120 hour shipment durations.

Global Insulated Packaging Market Dynamics

DriversRising Consumption of Perishables and Shift to Greener Materials

Insulated/thermal packaging is a crucial aspect undertaken by insulated/thermal packagingThe cold chain marketplace offers various options under packaging toward temperature-sensitive goods (insulated pallet shippers, insulating pouches, hard-cased thermal chests and boxes, cryogenic units, and active thermal systems). With estimations by SoFrigam by 2050, two-thirds of the world's population is expected to live in urban areasThis growth is expected to fuel the demand for goods and services, increasing freight transport flowsThis leads to increased demand for transport infrastructure, logistics, and storage.

Another significant trend, such as developing an industry-wide format, has been acting as a front and center for multiple large companies looking for partnershipsThe TemperPack is partnering with Albertsons, Diplomat Pharmacy, HelloFresh, and Green Chef to cater to the ready-to-serve food and life sciences markets to create universally recognized standards for insulated packaging.

RestraintsStringent Government Regulations Adherence Limiting Growth, Maintenance Costs, and Raw Material Issues

Thousands of human or animal origin samples are collected and sent every day by pharmaceutical companies, nursing homes, diagnostic laboratories, and research centersBeing collected as part of medical tests clinical trials, to name a few, any loss on content via changes in temperature, humidity, or pressure may have detrimental effects on the results and patients if administeredTherefore, a comprehensive set of standards are being laid down for vendors to comply.

Additionally, the US FDA, under Regulation 21 CFR 211.150, highlights distribution proceduresIt adds on with outlining pharmaceutical products to be shipped within appropriate temperatures and under accurate conditions, as per requirements and appropriate manual, electromechanical, or electronic temperature and humidity recording equipment devicesIt logs to be utilized to document proper storage of prescription drugsThis acts as a significant capital requirement toward the market vendors, limiting the newer players in the market and restricting the innovation across insulated packaging instead of expansive adherence.
